With more than 150,000 servers shipped
and more than 60 industry awards, Adaptec
is the undisputed leader in Network
Attached Storage. Now that leadership is
being extended to the IP SAN market, as
well, with its Snap Server 4500 that simulta-
neously supports both block and file data.
The Snap Server 4500 is a scalable, rack-
optimized 1U storage server that provides
industry-leading performance with a best-
in-class feature set. Our unique Instant
Capacity Expansion (I.C.E.) feature for on-
demand scalability and provisioning allows
up to two Snap Disk 10 expansion arrays to
connect and immediately increase storage
space on the fly, with no RAID reconfigura-
tion required. iSCSI target support provides
both block and file storage in the same
device. Combine all of this with centralized
remote administration, no client license
fees, and minimal ongoing administration,
and it’s easy to see how Snap Servers deliver
cost-effective capacity without complexity.
A Complete Storage Solution
The Snap Server 4500 offers:
• Scalable Database Storage — iSCSI
target support allows block-based appli-
cations to be stored on the same Snap
Server as file-based applications. Now one
device handles all of your storage needs.
• Backup Enhancement — Fast, disk-
based Snap Servers are ideal locations for
nearline backup and increase backup effi-
ciency to take maximum advantage of
shrinking backup windows. Move data to
a Snap Server and scan for viruses, take a
snapshot, and pass it to tape over a
subnet without impacting existing
production servers.
Alternatively, install one of the supported
backup agents or use NDMP to incorpo-
rate the Snap Server data into an existing
backup scheme. As an image archive, a
backup staging point, or compliance
management location, Snap Servers can
be faster and more efficient than tape.
• Scalable File Storage — Increase storage
space on the fly, and share large,
frequently accessed files from a Snap
Server to speed up application server
performance.
• Enhanced Data Protection — BakBone’s
NetVault WorkGroup Edition backup
software is integrated into the
GuardianOS for enterprise-class data
protection. Optional Snap Enterprise
Data Replicator (Snap EDR) software
provides cross-platform data protection
and management designed for the
distributed enterprise.
• Centralized Management — Simple
installation and browser-based manage-
ment make Snap Servers ideal for remote
sites with little or no IT support staff.
Snap Server Manager software consoli-
dates the management of multiple units
into a single console.
• Desktop/Laptop Backup — Every Snap
Server includes an unlimited user license
copy of Symantec’s DataKeeper software
for automating file backup and restore of
Windows clients.
• Server Consolidation — Snap Servers are
a simple, cost-effective way to consolidate,
yet still provide instant access to, your
data.
