Taipei City, Taiwan – May 13, 2020 – QSAN Technology, Inc. (QSAN), a leading designer and manufacturer of cutting-edge storage solutions, has announced the release of SANOS firmware 1.4.4 for the XCubeSAN series. This latest update includes support for the new RHCE25P2 host card, featuring two 25GbE (SFP28) ports to accommodate a wide range of high-performance applications.
Next-Generation 25GbE Host Card
The dual-port 25GbE (SFP28) host card delivers a total bandwidth of 50GbE, making it an ideal solution for modern data centers, virtualization, backup, and large-scale surveillance systems. With the added advantage of reduced cabling, this next-generation Ethernet protocol offers both high performance and efficiency.
Optimized for Critical Backup Operations
In backup scenarios, time is critical. A faster network allows for rapid data transfer, ensuring backups are completed in shorter windows, minimizing the risk of data loss during unforeseen events. The increased bandwidth provided by the 25GbE host card enhances the overall backup process.
Supporting Large-Scale Surveillance Applications
High-quality video surveillance systems require significant storage performance due to the sheer volume of data from multiple cameras and recording devices. The 25GbE bandwidth guarantees smooth, uninterrupted recording of all images, ensuring reliable performance even in large-scale deployments.
Empowering Media Editing Workflows
Media editing, especially at 4K, 8K, and higher resolutions, demands a robust network infrastructure. The 25GbE network card provides the speed necessary to handle the high-performance demands of media production environments, ensuring seamless editing and content creation workflows.
Enhancing Virtualization Performance
As the number of virtual desktops increases, storage systems must provide higher network throughput to maintain an optimal user experience. The new 25GbE host card ensures that QSAN storage solutions deliver the bandwidth needed to support virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments, improving the overall experience for users.
