Open-E, Inc is a leading provider of unified file and block storage management software solutions. The Open-E Data Storage Software (Open-E DSS V6) offers support for Network Attached Storage (NAS), iSCSI and Fibre Channel SAN (Storage Area Network) functionality all in a single, easy to use storage operating system. Open-E DSS also provides Automatic iSCSI Failover and Failback for high-availability, Remote Volume Mirroring and Asynchronous Data Replication for disaster recovery, WORM (Write Once Read Many) support for digital archiving, and NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol) support for universal backup - ensuring better data security, increased fault tolerance and improved availability of all data, ultimately delivering better overall performance and value.
Open-E Data Storage Software V7 is a Linux-based data storage software used for building and managing centralized data storage servers - NAS and SAN
iSCSI (SAN) Active-Active Failover boosts overall system performance and minimizes downtime since the read, write and replication traffic is balanced over two nodes.
Open-E’s DSS family of products is widely recognized and awarded by the storage industry. There are over 27,000 installations worldwide among which there are many Fortune 500 companies.
Open-E’s highly qualified support engineers offer technical guidance during deployment and everyday use. Wide range of affordable and flexible Support Plans suits the needs of any company.

CyberStore 212S ISCSI SAN & NAS - Open-E iSCSI
The CyberStore 212S iSCSI DSS (Data Storage Server) OPEN-E storage appliances are 2U rackmount storage servers with twelve hot swap SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) or SATA II (Serial ATA) nearline ready enterprise class hard drives. As the ultimate reliable iSCSI SAN & NAS storage appliance, the CyberStore 212S ISCSI DSS (Data Storage Server) stresses speed, ease of management and dependable storage for all of your data storage requirements.
Configured with up to 12 ultra fast SAS or SATA II 3Gb/s drives, the CyberStore 212S ISCSI SAN & NAS can provide a RAID level 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 storage environment. Yielding the best storage capacity and performance in its class, the 2U CyberStore 212S iSCSI DSS storage appliance offers flexibility, fault tolerance, speed and data security.
Dividing data into 2TB increments is inefficient and has become a storage management nightmare.The storage volume array limitations in Windows are eliminated with the CyberStore 212S and as an added benefit this also eliminates the need to create dynamic disks and spanned volumes therefore attaining larger storage capacities making storage management a breeze whilst keeping optimal redundancy at all times.
The chassis is rugged and reliable and designed to exceed the power, cooling and rotational vibration requirements of todays high speed hard disk drives. The CyberStore 212S iSCSI DSS range of storage servers are also designed to install without interrupting your network configuration, and can be up and running within minutes.
