HA Enterprise Storage
The PlatinStor SC is based on an integrated storage hypervisor which excellently combines the enourmous benefits of storage virtualization with the requirements of storing the data in the same system. The resulting flexibility and security allows for easy management and separates the storage hardware from the virtual volumes which can be seen by the servers. An integration of existing storage systems into virtualization layers enables centralized management and usage of the advantages of the modern PlatinStor systems.

Highlights of PlatinStor SC
Enterprise Security and Reliability
Unique features such as: Continuous Data Protection, Advanced Snapshots, Enterprise Storage Virtualization, WSAN, Asynchronous Mirroring, Advanced Site Recovery, MPIO and special service levels make PlatinStor SC one of the safest and most reliable storage systems in the world.
Wide Range Data Replication
PlatinStor SC systems incorporate industries fastest non-volatile tiering which is perfectly fit for databases, high performance clusters and other power hungry services and applications.
Easy Maintenance
The PlatinStor SC Management Console provides centralized control of the entire SAN grid, also email notification as well as IPMI enable continuous monitoring, analysis and reporting tools yield a more efficient operation of PlatinStor SC. In addition to the graphical user interface, there is a command line available.
Additional Features
Cascade Cache Technology
Multilevel Cache Technology: CISC Cache, RISC Cache and SSD Cache provide unsurpassed performance.
Advanced Comprehensive Tiering
Up to fifteen tiering classes ensure optimum matching of the requirements for the performance of PlatinStor SC.
Unified Storage
A platform for all storage-related applications, presentation of volumes over iSCSI and FC and full NAS functionality via CIFS, SMB and NFS with native AD integration.
Native Active/Active
All grid nodes located in the storage can be active and written to simultaneously for one and the same virtual volume and establish maximum availability, even in the event of failure of one side for SAN and NAS services.
Multi-Tier Investment Protection
Existing hardware, even from different manufacturers can continue to be used. Current PlatinStor SC platforms can also be used in PlatinStor SC next generation systems. A modular design allows a simple expansion at any given time.
Integrated Capacity Optimization
By Native Thin Provisioning, integrated data flow analysis and optimization, almost 100% of physical memory is available for user data. Data Deduplication is also being supported by default.
NVMe Tiering
PlatinStor SC systems incorporate industries fastest non-volatile tiering which is perfectly fit for databases, high performance clusters and other power hungry services and applications.
True Synchronous Grid
Each block that is confirmed by PlatinStor SC systems is guaranteed to exist on both nodes, data loss due to failure of one side is thus avoided optimally.
Medium and Enterprise Storage
The Tacyon SX-4 represents a modular, highly performing, high availability and disaster tolerant SAN environment, optimized for Medium and Enterprise Business needs. A storage cluster with enhanced Automatic Failover Technology guarantees the operation of the system even in case of a site failure.
Tacyon Overview
In order to effectively cover all areas, Novarion offers a wide range of possible solutions

- Up to 24x 2.5 SAS-3 bays
- Up to 8x 8 Gigabit Fibrechannel
- All relevant SAN and NAS protocols
SX
- Up to 72x 2.5 SAS-3 trays
- Up to 10x 40 Gigabit Ethernet
- All relevant SAN and NAS protocols
Tacyon 3
- Up to 48x 2.5 SAS-3/SATA-3 trays
- Up to 8x 100 Gigabit Ethernet
- All relevant SAN and NAS protocol
Highlights of Tacyon SX
Multilevel Cache Technology
CISC Cache, RISC Cache and SSD Cache provide excellent performance
Wide Range Data Replication
Data Replication for NAS volumes is supported for long distances to save user data to an additional location redundantly
Highly Effective Capacity Utilization
After building the RAID sets, almost 100% of the net capacity can be used for storing user data
Additional Features
Monitoring
Tacyon® SX monitoring provides a multilevel notification system supporting Email as well as SNMP. Hardware based sensors are working in every operation mode also at offline systems.
Substantial Expandability
Featuring a highly modular design, the Tacyon® SX-4 retains the prospect of expanding at any given point in time and at any rate desired. This facilitates the company to upgrade the Tacyon®SX according to their budget in a timely fashion exactly when needed.
Active/Active*
Two nodes located in the storage cluster can be used active/active and written to simultaneously and ensure maximum availability, even in case of failure of one side for SAN services.
Multi-Tier Investment Protection
Existing hardware, even from different manufacturers, can continue to be used, platforms can also be used in Tacyon® or PlatinStor® next generation systems. A modular design allows a simple expansion at any given time.
Outstanding Data Integrity
Each Tacyon cluster contains two nodes. Each node provides its own storage devices, data integrity is ensured even if one site is totally unavailable.
True Synchronous Mirroring
Each block being confirmed by Tacyon, is guaranteed to exist on both nodes, data loss due to failure of one side is therefore controlled optimally.
Flexible Connectivity
All popular media for iSCSI/Ethernet are supported, including iSCSI over 1GBE, 10GBE, 40GBE copper and optical (RJ-45) / SFP+ as well as 8GBit and 16GBit FC.
Enhanced Maintenance
The Tacyon LX Management Console is designed to be used locally or remotely over internet. Multilevel rights management increases security and flexibility as well as making overall management easier.
