IP-SAN

Powerful and yet cost-effective, LeftHand iSCSI SANs are changing the rules of storage networking. Customers are not constrained by high maintenance, vendor-specific systems.

LeftHand Networks' open iSCSI SANs are based on open industry standard protocols and enterprise-class x86 storage servers and powered by SAN/iQ, the industry's first open storage software platform. Open iSCSI SANs provide you with interoperability, cost-effectiveness, and performance in your data centers. LeftHand gives you the choice and flexibility to purchase the hardware platform that best fits your performance, capacity, and budget requirements.
 
SAN/iQ software transforms enterprise class x86 servers into storage servers to create a SAN. Each storage server contains processing power, RAM, cache, disk drives, and bandwidth. By breaking your storage system in to small, fully functional building blocks, you have the flexibility to redeploy your assets and reconfigure your storage system with no downtime. SAN/iQ aggregates all of these resources into a single system, helping you to avoid traditional storage bottlenecks such as a limited number of network ports, controller bandwidth, and cache size as you add grow your SAN.
