Xiotech Introduces New Storage Array Controller

Xiotech has upgraded its ISE (Intelligent Storage Element) management software and also introduced a new array controller. As mentioned in this report on The Register, this highlights the divide between suppliers who believe in integrated arrays and controllers and those, like Hitachi Data Systems, who do not.

"The new Emprise 9000 is a storage array built from an Emprise 9000 controller and ISE storage blades. It can scale from two to twelve controllers and up to 1.8PB of capacity. There are two new software products. ISE Manager, the developed and rebranded Icon Manager, enables users to deploy and provision storage as part of an internal storage cloud instead of individual devices. ISE Analyzer reports, analyses, streamlines and predicts storage performance and capacity. This makes the ISE a better citizen in disaggregated storage controller and back-end media environments."
