Features


Standard Gateway Support

Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise can be used in business environments with structured networks, and it allows for remote management and optional data access via Intranet or Internet.

DHCP Server Support
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol allowing network administrators to centrally manage and automate the process of assigning IP addresses in a network.

Secured Administration Access
Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise provides Secured Administration Access, requiring administrators to use SSL to access and configure the iSCSI-R3 software. Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise also allows users to assign different administrator rights to multiple administrators.

Multiple Network Interface Card (NIC) Support

Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise supports the use of two or more network cards to access separate sub-networks. It also allows users to select the services to be enabled on a specified NIC.

Adaptive Load Balancing

Adaptive load balancing enhances performance by automatically routing data through several alternative paths or storage adapters as application needs change.

Adapter Fault Tolerance

Adapter Fault Tolerance assures greater reliability by providing that a secondary storage adapter automatically takes over if the primary storage adapter fails.

Multi-Snapshot with the scheduling function

Multi-Snapshot with the scheduling function, available in Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise, allows users to take a snapshot at a specified time (e.g., automatically every hour). If a user accidentally deletes or incorrectly modifies a file, he can still recover the data from a previous snapshot image.

Multiple Logical Volume Groups
Logical volume groups allow storage administrators to create logical storage pools that span multiple physical disk drives. With its support of multiple logical volume groups, Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise makes it easier to meet the changing needs of users and applications while making the maximum use of available physical disk space.

Read Only LUN option
This function lets the user to set the LUN (Logical Unit Number) as a read-only device.

Volume Replication
With Open-E software your data will be save thanks to volume replication. It creates exact copy of source volume in real time, this means that when on one volume data is lost then data on second volume still exists.

Online Logical Volume Expansion
Online logical volume expansion allows administrators to change the size of storage volumes as needed without having to restart the application, recreate the volume, and back up and restore the data to the volume.

Multilevel Management
OPEN-E iSCSI-R3' multilevel management capabilities allow the assignment of different levels of management rights to different storage managers. This allows, for example, some users or managers to monitor disk utilization for planning purposes without having the right to actually change or add actual storage volumes.

Network Client Support
- Microsoft Windows
- Linux
- UNIX
- Novell Netware 6.5
- Apple OS X

Console Tools
The Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise management console allows managers to monitor the status of the network, drivers and hardware, as well as to view information about memory usage. They can also control the Ping function, time settings, and DNS and DHCP configuration. Through the console, administrators can also change the language in which they run Open-E iSCSI-R3.

Tuning Tools

This option is for advanced administrators. Tuning tools allows increase Open-E server performance. Using this tool you have possibility of enhancing disk, network, services settings.

Hardware Monitoring
The Open-E software allows you to monitor hardware status using your motherboard's sensors. This information can be: temperatures, voltages and/or fan speeds.

UPS Support
An uninterruptible power supply, which provides safe shutdown in case of power failure, can be attached to an Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise system through a standard serial port.

Network UPS
OPEN-E iSCSI-R3 Enterprise also supports the use of UPS to ensure the smooth shutdown of all OPEN-E iSCSI-R3 servers on the network in the case of a power failure. Using the SNMP interface for communication. the UPS-equipped server sends (or receives, if working in slave mode) the power failure signal and will shut down all servers in the network without the loss of data.

Email Notification
Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise can be configured to send email alerts to the system administrator in case of problems with the Open-E iSCSI-R3 software.

Log Function
Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise allows the storage administrator to transmit error logs or system logs to OPEN-E to aid in diagnostics and troubleshooting.

LCD Panel Support
Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise supports the LCD panel (Pyramid LCD Display) as an optional display. Therefore, you don't need a monitor for configuring your NAS server manually.

RAID Interface Support
The Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise solution can support most hardware ATA / SATA / SCSI RAID controllers of:
- 3ware
- Adaptec
- ICP Vortex
- Intel
- LSI Logic
- more..

InfiniBand Support
You can use InfiniBand cards for connecting servers. InfiniBand is modern, high-speed (up to 10Gbit) serial computer bus.

Target Password Support
Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise allows set up password for targets to protect them from unauthorized access

Multiple CHAP for target
Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise allows assigning multiple CHAP users that will be granted to access to the target. CHAP user authentication is by user name and password.

CHAP User Management
Thanks to this feature you can easly menage users that will have access to the targets. You can create, edit and remove existing CHAP users.

10 Gb Ethernet with TCP/IP Offload (TOE)
To improve the data throughput and latency, the Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise supports 10 Gbit Ethernet cards from Chelsio for servers and storage systems. Chelsio provides the highest 10GbE performance available. With the on-board hardware that offloads TCP/IP processing from its host system, the Chelsio card lets its host gives more CPU cycles to applications. The result: the system gets increased bandwidth, improved overall performance, and reduced message latency across connections.

Multi-CPU Support
The Open-E Enterprise version supports up to 8 CPUs to concurrently execute the Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3. This increases the potential I/O throughput of the disk server and makes it suitable for heavy duty data requirements.

Fibre Channel Support
For high bandwidth, best latency and performance, the Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise version supports Fibre Channel HBA´s of Emulex and Qlogic. Fibre Channel is the standard connection type for connecting high speed storage devices, like the Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 target, to computers in Storage Area Networks (SAN).

MPIO Support
The Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise allows set multiple connections to one target increasing performance and reliability.

Proxy settings With Open-E software you can use proxy server for Internet connections.

IP-Sec
The Open-E iSCSI-R3-R3 Enterprise supports the Secure Internet Protocol (IPsec). This protocol has been developed to secure data transmitted across a network, preventing confidential and personal information being intercepted or modified.
