Celeros, a provider of storage appliances, has launched new storage platforms based on SAS-2 and the latest innovations in processor and interconnect technologies for EzSAN, EzNAS, and EzSANFiler lines of products.

The company claims that it has combined the latest hardware advancements in every aspect of the storage platform to bring to market new storage appliances that deliver a better than 2X performance enhancement.

According to Celeros, high speed backplanes utilising the latest generation of SAS-2 components, and latest incarnation of processor, memory, and interconnect technologies (Nehalem, DDR3, PCIe 2.0) comprise the building blocks of these platforms built for the data centre environments.

The company said that combined with the 6.0Gbs SAS-2 enabled enterprise class disk and SSD drives, these platforms are delivering near giga bytes per Second (1GBs) read/write throughput under industry standard (IOMeter) testing.

Hossein Alaee, CEO and founder of Celeros, said: “As demand for capacity, speed, and reliability in complex virtualised environments with mission critical apps rises relentlessly, IT professionals find it increasingly challenging to satisfy these demands in a cost effective way and within budgets, especially in the current economic climate.

“Celeros’ next generation SAS2 storage platforms are designed from ground up to deliver greater performance, reliability, capacity and value to satisfy enterprise’s demanding requirements.
