Ever since established in year 2004, Qsan has positioned itself as iSCSI / IP SAN and SAS expert. With new software application support, Tiger Technology metaSAN File Sharing SAN Management, Qsan now enhances all of its iSCSI and Fibre Channel (FC) RAID controllers. Multiple hosts/users can share access to the same files with concurrent write protection in IP and FC SAN environments with metaSAN.

Featuring industry-leading performance on Intel IOP platform, Qsan iSCSI and FC RAID Controllers, P210C and F200C, are the iSCSI-to-SAS/SATA II and FC-to-SAS/SATAII RAID controllers built around with Qsan innovative RAID stack. Tthe benchmark data shows up to 120,000 IOPS with intelligent designs and performance optimization, and throughput can achieve up to 800MB/sec. The outstanding performance is produced by not only the highly-optimized Qsan stack but also strong computing power offered by Intel Xscale IOP series. Qsan controllers support, at drive-side, SAS drives, thus SATA compatible. Not only it supports up to 16 drives in single enclosure, there is a SAS JBOD expansion port built-in in P210C and F200C, connectible up to 4 SAS JBODs and up to 80 drives with 128TB size limit. And, the whole system including one RAID controller subsystem and its four J200C JBOD enclosures with fully loaded 80 hard drives can achieve high power efficiency and save the overall drive power cost with the green feature of disk auto spindown supported by Qsan. Other useful features include RAID 6, on-line migration, web-based management, snapshot (QSnap), Windows Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) and so on.
