Data storage systems are of little value if you can't get data where it needs to be, when it's needed, with the necessary speed. SGI® InfiniteStorage solutions make it simple to accomplish these things for accelerated workflow.
A Continuing Tradition of Innovation
With the introduction of the SGI® InfiniteStorage Shared Filesystem CXFS™ four years ago, SGI pioneered a new paradigm in data access that is revolutionizing the way people work and dramatically streamlining the way data flows through organizations. Now in its third generation, CXFS offers unparalleled shared data access over SANs and industry-leading support for heterogeneous system platforms, ensuring that bandwidth limitations don't slow down critical applications.
A Single Platform for NAS, SAN and SAN/NAS Gateways
Where other vendors lock you into different point solutions for direct-attached storage (DAS), network attached storage (NAS), and storage area networks (SANs), SGI offers a single platform that can be deployed to meet DAS, NAS and SAN needs, reducing or eliminating the barriers to data sharing that previously existed between disparate storage pools. Reduced complexity simplifies the job of storage management, saving money, and increasing efficiency. With a single platform, you can migrate from one storage architecture to another-for instance from NAS to SAN-without having to change the layout or format of your critical data.
Compatible With a Variety of Protocols
For shared data access over local area networks (LANs), SGI offers highly tuned versions of standard network protocols such as NFS, FTP, DCE/DFS, and CIFS. SGI eliminates the limitations common to other network-attached storage (NAS) solutions with SGI® InfiniteStorage NAS 2000, a scalable, high-performance, integrated NAS solution.
