Overview

The single most critical element in any storage architecture is the disk array. Ultimately, it holds your company's greatest technology assets - its information. Which is why at the heart of every Winchester Systems' data storage solution is an ultra-high performance RAID disk array called FlashDisk.

Borrowing on the massively parallel architectures of mainframes, FlashDisk boasts the fastest I/O rates and highest sustained data throughput rates in the industry. Out of the box, FlashDisk is a complete DAS storage system. You name the application; we can improve its performance - from transaction-intense financial, manufacturing and database applications to multimedia, imaging, video, pre-press, web servers, and any networked application, regardless of how many users are on the system.

But speed is only the beginning. In an effort to make FlashDisk unbeatably fast, we also made sure it was incredibly flexible. So in addition to its blazing speed, FlashDisk is incredibly scalable, and offers extraordinary reliability featuring multiple RAID disk array options and hot-swappable drives, controllers and power supplies. And, as your company migrates to SAN or NAS solutions, so does FlashDisk, automatically. In fact, FlashDisk is the only RAID disk array that remains the same design regardless of how your storage architecture changes around it.

Best of all, FlashDisk accomplishes all this while remaining completely transparent to your network and your users. Its open systems design can simultaneously serve multiple hosts, support multiple network protocols, and interoperate with multiple operating systems without drivers or compatibility kits, making FlashDisk easier to understand, deploy and maintain.

Improved Manageability
To help organizations monitor and manage multiple disk arrays, Winchester Systems offers a new breed of management appliance called FlashConsole. From anywhere on the network or the Internet, this data storage solution appliance allows you to securely monitor key performance and component activity across multiple RAID disk arrays, view event logs, and receive email notifications of potential problems.

However, true to our design simplicity approach, FlashConsole is smart without being complex. Its non-intrusive design provides centralized visibility to your entire storage system without requiring any host software. In other words, it keeps on running, even if your server does not. So if your storage system needs your attention, you are immediately alerted via email, allowing you to identify and resolve potential problems, faster. With Secure FlashConsole, one of our data storage solutions, having peace of mind is a piece of cake.
