Genstor Launches Green Storage Server Appliance

By DE Editors

Genstor Systems, Inc. (Orlando, FL; http://www.genstor.com), a customized solutions provider for servers, storage, clusters, OEM appliances, and high-performance computing (HPC), launched its new green storage server appliance, the GNS-2450, at Storage Networking World in Orlando, FL.

The appliance, resulting from the collaboration between Genstor, Open-E, and AMD, uses Open-E Data Storage Server (DSS) software and an AMD Opteron processor-based hardware platform.

The Storage appliance is built on the proven Open-E family of storage products, with nearly seven years of development, testing and support — yielding security, reliability, and ease-of-management benefits. The hardware platform takes advantage of high-performance AMD Opteron processors with Direct Connect Architecture. Coupled with Open-E’s plug-and-play storage management capability, the GNS-2450 is said to be easy to configure and implement.

In addition to using Open-E’s storage management software on a power-efficient USB Disk-on-Module (DOM), the GNS-2450 has been specially designed as a “green product” with AMD’s energy efficient processor technology.
