Storage analyst Deni Connor focuses on storage, application and infrastructure management in this twice-weekly newsletter.
BlueArc is moving into the midrange storage market with the introduction of its Titan 1100 storage array. It joins the company's larger Titan 2100, 2200 and 2500 arrays. Like those arrays, the Titan 1100 uses the same operating system and has the same features but costs 25% less than the 2100.
The Titan 1100 performs at 50,000 I/Os per second on the SpecSFS benchmark. This compare to 75,000 I/Os per second for the Titan 2100 and 100,000 I/Os per second for the 2500. The 1100 array has a total throughput of 2.5Gbps and a total capacity of 128Tbps, less than half the size of the Titan 2100. (see “BlueArc sets SPECmail record”.)
It connects to the network via four Gigabit Ethernet ports and to the storage-area network via four 4Gbps Fibre Channel ports.
BlueArc claims that the Titan 1100 is focused for use in organizations involved in electronic design automation and CAD, Web and e-commerce, and video surveillance and mapping activities. It is also well-suited for use in remote or branch offices within distributed enterprise environments.
It is capable of using either Xyratex, LSI or Hitachi Data Systems storage. Current Titan 1100s can be upgraded to larger Titan 2100, 2200 and 2500 models.
The Titan 1100 competes with unified storage arrays from Network Appliance such as the FAS3070.
BlueArc, which filed for an IPO in October of this year, claims more than 225 customers and 104% growth year over year for the period ending July 31, 2007. The company has an OEM relationship with Hitachi Data System and a partnership with Cray.
The Titan 1100 starts at $75,000.
