SANs for Today's Business Needs

Traditional storage systems, built to accommodate slower applications and predictable data growth, often present customers with performance and scalability bottlenecks that can only be overcome with costly hardware upgrades.

International, "always on" business needs have moved beyond the scope of these traditional models. In today's more fluid model, requirements for the IT organization increasingly drive storage system requirements. High availability, scalable performance, improved productivity, and easy, intuitive management are no longer luxuries, but necessities in a business world that never sleeps.

Rather than use proprietary storage controllers that limit capacity and performance, LeftHand has taken a new approach. Relying on standards-based hardware, our SANs use virtualization to aggregate multiple storage nodes into a single storage system, regardless of how many nodes you add. What's more, our integrated SANs have controllers built into every node, and come with a comprehensive set of software features at no additional cost.

This approach eliminates expensive and disruptive controller upgrades, and also eliminates the complicated guesswork involved in determining how much storage you will need as you grow. With LeftHand, you buy only what you need today, and scale capacity and performance non-disruptively as your business requires.
