The award-winning StoneFusion® Intelligent Network Storage Platform (NSP), reduces the total cost of ownership by lowering management costs and increasing storage utilization. By adding block level storage intelligence to the IP networking core, StoneFusion enables OEMs to deliver all the benefits of SANs, including increased storage utilization through storage consolidation, feature-rich managed storage capabilities, rapid deployment of new storage and SAN-based backup capabilities. The flexible StoneFusion platform enables storage provisioning, which turns physical disks into virtual storage units, or logical volumes. These logical volumes are presented to the host as normal SCSI disks. Each logical volume points to physical storage in disk arrays by blocks. StoneFusion also facilitates advanced storage management functions, such as synchronous mirroring through StoneFly Reflection and Active-Active FailOver Clustering. StoneFusion has been designed to run on a variety of Hardware platforms and embedded systems. With StoneFusion the power of IP SANs is at your finger tips.
