®SAN SAF. The E Disk
®SAN SAF flash disk appliance can be deployed in a variety of storage architectures for most types of technical and business applications and does not require a Fibre Channel SAN. The SAF can be configured as a desktop or stand-alone device, in a server, tower or rackmount enclosure directly attached to a host with a Fibre Channel interface.
For enterprise customers who have deployed Fibre Channel SANs, the addition of the E-Disk
®SAN SAF provides a performance boost to a broad range of servers and applications when they need it, while sharing this valuable resource across the corporate network.
"With our affordable and new solid state flash disk storage technology, our clients can now easily implement new degree of system performance and cost effectiveness," said Rudy Bruce, President of BiTMICRO Networks.
"Competing products of the same class, capacity and performance in the volatile DRAM market do not even come close to the E Disk
®SAN SAF in terms of smaller footprint, reliability, security and power consumption. Their investment goes to the advanced features provided by our patented DataSentinel, securErase
® and PowerGuard
® technologies instead of complementary batteries, hard disks and tape backup solutions required by DRAM SSD products", added Bruce.
