Aberdeen Introduces the AberSAN V30 ZFS IP SAN Video Storage System
Optimized for Video Surveillance Applications, with Unlimited Storage Scalability, Powered by NexentaStor
Santa Fe Springs, California, April 5,
2011: Aberdeen LLC, a leading manufacturer of server and storage
solutions, announced today the availability of the new AberSAN V30 SAN
storage appliance, which brings the simplicity of a network attached
storage (NAS) solution to a SAN environment, optimized for the distinct
needs of the security and surveillance industry. The AberSAN V30 is
based on the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series and features up to 48TB
of native storage capacity. The AberSAN V30 scales to thousands of
petabytes of storage within a single volume as necessary, by utilizing
the ZFS file system with RAID-Z technology.
Yesterday, DCIG and Foskett Services named the AberSAN Z-Series as
Best-in-Class in its
Expanded Edition of the DCIG 2011 Small Enterprise Storage Array Buyer’s
Guide. Aberdeen is capitalizing upon this award winning
technology by introducing surveillance video storage specific AberSAN
V30. The Best-in-Class AberSAN Z-Series is known for best bang for the
buck features set, as will the video storage optimized V30.
“Aberdeen’s combination of scalability, performance, flexibility with
AberSAN is ideal for smaller enterprises that need to start with less
capacity but have the ability to expand as needed,” said Jerome Wendt,
co-author and founder, DCIG, LLC. “Until recently, Aberdeen focused
primarily on private labeling its storage arrays and systems for other
companies. Today, it is selling an increasingly number of targeted video
solutions under its own brand.”
Aberdeen announced the new AberSAN V30 at the ISC West International
Security Conference and Exhibition, taking place at the Sands Expo and
Convention Center, April 5-8. Aberdeen is located in booth #6039.
Aberdeen has more than 20 years of experience providing integrators with
quality enterprise-level custom server and storage solutions. The new
AberSAN V30 meets the technical needs of any major surveillance
expansion program and reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by
future-proofing capacity limitations with unlimited storage expansion
capabilities. The AberSAN provides enterprise class unified storage
resources for centralized environments needing high-capacity protected
storage alternative for any business involved with the planning,
deployment and management of a security infrastructure and in need
increasing data protection whilst reducing deployment costs.
"We recognize the need for cost-effective, a high-performance,
enterprise class storage system targeted specifically to the needs of
today’s data-intensive video security surveillance market,” said Moshe
Ovadya, president and chief executive officer of Aberdeen LLC. “The new
AberSAN V30 provides the bandwidth and scalability necessary to support
any size surveillance deployment, whether in a campus, municipality,
casino and many other environments. Aberdeen provides a strong
combination of; unlimited scalable storage, customization,
high-performance with an aggressive price point."
The new AberSAN V30 offers systems integrators, VARs, and distributors
involved in the implementation of security systems, storage fluency in
project management. Aberdeen brings enterprise class unified storage
capabilities with virtualization to the video surveillance industry
without the pesky vendor lock-in, while delivering superior storage
management functionality with a particular focus on virtualized
environments. Certain enterprise class features necessary for reliable
video data protection include; unlimited snapshots, deduplication,
replication, high availability, thin provisioning and scale-out storage
capabilities.
Aberdeen partner Nexenta Systems, a leader in open storage solutions,
has integrated its NexentaStor software, a ZFS-based enterprise grade
storage platform, into the AberSAN V30. One of several benefits brought
to the IP SAN video storage industry via the ZFS file system, is RAID-Z.
This robust RAID architecture provides a level of virtually unlimited
hard disk drive parity for protecting against disk failures along with
an inherent self healing disk drive RAID feature. Along with an industry
leading five-year warranty, the AberSAN also is available for HA
clustering and complete fault tolerance to combat points of failure.
“The physical security market, as a whole
is experiencing significant growth and a fundamental transition from
analog to digital surveillance technologies," Jason Yoho, VP of Business
Development at Nexenta Systems said. "We believe that Aberdeen is
uniquely positioned to deliver an IP SAN storage solution designed to
provide near limitless scalability by leveraging NexentaStor enterprise
features like; inherent virtualization, unlimited storage arrays,
unlimited snap-shots, thin provisioning and hybrid storage pooling. We
are excited to be bringing the much needed benefits of ZFS to the
security storage industry."

::Product Details::
Industry’s First ZFS Shared Storage Platform:
• Offers unlimited storage capacities
• Unlimited volume support providing non-disruptive volume
grow/shrink
• Each AberSAN V30 can scale to 1000s of Petabytes of
Fibre and/or iSCSI storage
(up to 16 Exabyte in a single volume)
• Thin Provisioning = allows storage capacity to be easily
allocated to the AberSAN, on a just-enough
and just-in-time basis.
Basically plug-n-play storage expansion
Superior Disk Protection with ZFS RAID-Z Provides:
• Unlimited RAID PARITY configurations yielding any desired level of
parity drives, yielding user specific
tolerance to simultaneous HDD
failures
• Self-healing storage array = when an HDD failure is predicted, user-set
policies facilitate preemptively
migrating the data to other HDDs, which
eliminates or mitigates the need for RAID reconstruction,
basically
known as No-Maintenance RAID arrays.
Reliability:
• 5-year warranty
• Server applications restart automatically on an appliance failure
• Designed with open source and industry stand hardware in mind,
eliminates costly platform dependent
hardware upgrades
• Supports hosted virtual server integration to help promote consolidation
and up to 80% lower TCO
• No single point of failure and accelerated fault recovery methods with
full active/active
High Availability configuration
Enterprise Class ZFS storage Features:
• In-line deduplication
• Cloud storage capabilities
• Heterogeneous block and file replication
• Hybrid storage pooling = the ability to use SAS, SATA and SSD
concurrently
• Unlimited snapshots and clones with fully integrated search
• High Availability Clustering and Failover for server applications
