Want a truly affortable SAN? FibreJet enterprise-class storage network gives multiple computers concurrent access to terabytes of storage using just about anyones storage over Fibre Channel. Apple’s Xsan costs $23,383 more than a 6-node FibreJet solution using identical equipment!
Higer-performance
Storage Networking
FibreJet is sometimes 500% the performance of Xsan for the equivelent
file-copy operation! FibreJet finds a file in 5 seconds compared to
taking over 4 minutes with the same operation in Xsan!
Don’t get sucked into the Xsan-hype. FibreJet is the proven choice for storage and server consolidation, higher performance, lower cost, easy scalability and higher avilability.

Sharing. Its a good thing. FibreJet lets
you share files and volumes of virtually unlimited size over a Fibre
Channel based network. Virtually unlimited systems on the SAN can read
and write to shared storage simultaneously. Using your favorite standard
disk utilties, you can pool data across multiple SAN storage (both RAID
and JBOD) combined with multipathing for better performance. Each SAN
attached computer accesses the storage as if it were directly attached,
giving extreme performance for demanding applications such sharing HD
video with a workgroup of editors, or cluster computing where high speed
access to a shared data set allows each computer to calculate at maximum
efficiency.
Work together. Like never before. Since
all the SAN attached machines see the storage as if they were directly
attached, you can share media amoung many machines concurrently, enabling
true workgroup functionality like never before.
The freedom to collaborate. While others
claim to play well with others
FibreJet actually delivers on the work together promise. With true best
of class choices in all areas, FibreJet not only works with Fibre Channel
switches from the likes of QLogic, Emulex and Brocade, but FibreJet
also gives the customer choice when it comes down to the Storage and
HBAs. FibreJet will work with just about anyones RAID or JBOD storage,
and also lets you mix and match your choice of HBAs, from the likes
of QLogic, ATTO, Apple/LSI, Astera etc.
Higher Availability
FibreJet has less single points of failure than Xsan. In fact, since
FibreJet is based on full Fibre Channel SAN architecture, the entire
network can be provisioned for redundancy with multipathing, RAID, and
Fibre Channel switch fabric topology. Additionally there is no metadata
controller that can fail!
Easier Scalability, Easier to Setup, Easier to
Manage
Since FibreJet storage works just like your current storage, there is
nothing to relearn. Grow the network without distrupting users by simply
adding or reconfiguring swithces, storage, and servers as required.
Setup is a snap, and so is using, your storage is just there like any
other disk, if you want. Since management is built into every FibreJet,
it can be managed from any machine on your network, or remotely using
Apple Remote Desktop.
