Veriture iP™ from Nexsan Technologies is a new class of end-to-end IP SAN appliances that can be deployed with external storage arrays to offer functionality normally associated with midrange storage systems costing far more. Based on TCP/IP, Ethernet and iSCSI technologies, Veriture iP gives users a new alternative in storage networking. Veriture iP adds intelligent storage management to standard IP networks reducing the cost and complexity of managing always-expanding storage assets while prolonging the life and productivity of existing storage and network resources.

Veriture iP is standards-based and features an easy-to-use HTML-based user interface. By adding block-level storage intelligence to the IP networking core, Veriture iP users get all the benefits of SANs (Storage Area Networks), including efficient storage utilization through storage consolidation, feature-rich managed storage capabilities, rapid deployment of new storage and SAN-based backup capabilities. In addition, an intelligent iSCSI storage packet routing technology provides an extensible in-band metadata storage-mapping layer that presents physical storage devices as a common storage pool.

The Veriture iP architecture is extensible, allowing additional storage management applications to simply be plugged in without additional host agents. Veriture iP ensures data integrity through an embedded relational database that keeps track of physical data locations. This multiplies network intelligence by supplying non-disruptive online storage management, including automated consolidation of free storage space to maximize physical storage resources.

Through more efficient storage usage, improved administrative productivity and reduced network complexity, Veriture iP achieves a fast return on investment. Veriture iP supplies users with the storage management they need with a lower total cost of ownership and with far less complexity than other SAN alternatives.
