The StorTrends 2400i is an affordable 2U, rack-mount storage appliance that offers support for both block and file data in a form factor that is perfect for departments or small offices. It merges Ethernet-based Storage Area Networks (IP-SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) on a single storage platform.

Its support for iSCSI enables block applications like Microsoft® Exchange and Oracle to be deployed or stored on the same server as traditional file services. The StorTrends 2400i is designed with performance in mind, and includes features for advanced storage management such as High Availability, Advanced Snapshots, Volume Replication, Failover and much more.

For improved reliability and disaster prevention, the StorTrends 2400i features a redundant power supply, as well as Smart UPS support, which allows the appliance to seamlessly switch over to UPS power in the event of a power failure and initiate a graceful shutdown.

Each StorTrends IP-SAN and NAS appliance also includes the ManageTrends™ web-based GUI, which provides discovery and management of multiple StorTrends appliances deployed across the network. ManageTrends also monitors the storage performance, capacity and storage-related events and provides a detailed analysis of the storage usage.
