Flexible

Coraid SRX provides the intelligence to enable simple management and RAID.

By pooling large groups of drives, Coraid makes disks appear local to your Linux,

Windows, or VMware ESXi servers.

Wherever you use a disk drive, you can use Coraid.

Ethernet layer. Because it’s not “routed,” there is no need for bulky IP, TCP, or iSCSI layers to slow down your data.

Cost Effective

By separating hardware from software and using standard Ethernet, Coraid gives you the freedom to purchase hardware whatever way works best for your situation.

There is no need to learn complicated networking technology like Fibre Channel.

Just add hardware to the Coraid SRX and you’ll have all the performance and space your servers need.

Efficent

The secret to Coraid’s performance is in the protocol: ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE).

This lightweight, secure protocol allows hardware to perform at maximum capacity by sitting directly on top of the

This may mean using hardware you already have in your data center, purchasing used, buying commodity hardware directly from the manufacturer, or ordering pre-assembled boxes from

Coraid or a third party familiar with your needs.

No matter where you find hardware, turn it into high-performance Ethernet block storage with Coraid SRX.

HBAs

Coraid Host Bus Adapters are available for VMware and

Windows. Linux supports AoE natively. Therefore popular Linux distributions such as Red Hat or Ubuntu do not require an HBA.

Support

Free email, business-hours support from the Coraid engineering team is included with a yearly Coraid license. 24x7 phone support is available at an additional fee.

Support Plans

Coraid is a software-only product and therefore imposes no capacity restrictions.

Storage capacity is determined by disk choice, and users can upgrade to a larger disk capacity as they become available with no additional software cost.

JBOD or RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, or 10 with multiple automatic global spares.

Disks inside the Coraid storage appliance can be accessed individually (JBOD) or aggregated into one or more RAID LUNs.

Simple Command Line Interface (CLI) enables administrators to provision, configure, and monitor Coraid SRX storage appliances.

Business hours email support included.

Optional weekend email or 24x7 phone support plans.
