LSI Syncro CS solutions are designed to provide continuous application uptime at a fraction of the cost and complexity of traditional high availability solutions. Built on LSI MegaRAID technology, the Syncro CS 9286-8e solution allows a system administrator to build a cost- effective, easy to deploy and manage server failover cluster using volume servers and an off- the-shelf JBOD. Syncro CS solutions bring shared storage and storage controller failover into DAS environments, leveraging the low cost DAS infrastructure, simplicity, and performance benefits. Controller to controller connectivity is provided through the high performance SAS interface, providing the ability for resource load balancing, helping to ensure that applications are using the most responsive server to boost performance and help prevent any one server from being overburdened. Cost-effective High Availability DAS Solutions for SMB, SME and ROBO High availability is essential to all businesses today, regardless of size or industry. When systems running business-critical applications such as transaction processing, web server or electronic commerce are not accessible, the results can be lost revenue, lost productivity, and reduced customer satisfaction. Syncro CS solutions are designed to provide small and medium sized businesses (SMB) and remote and branch offices (ROBO) with fully redundant shared storage and application failover without requiring costly or complex storage area networks – putting high availability within the reach of organizations that once considered it impractical. A New Paradigm for High Availability Storage LSI has collaborated with OS and server industry leaders to enable cost-effective high availability server clustering solutions for SMBs and remote and branch offices (ROBO). These solutions bring shared storage and storage controller failover into DAS environments, leveraging the low cost DAS infrastructure, simplicity and performance benefits. For SMBs running local applications, Syncro CS solutions offer a cost-effective and easy to deploy and manage solution to reduce application downtime and the associated lost productivity and revenue. The solutions can also help to increase storage utilization and reduce power, cooling and space requirements for a lower total cost of ownership.
