Xiotech Mobile Storage Area Network

"The ability to take data and go, or arrive at an investigative site with a complete mobile SAN means that investigators run much less risk of contamination or corruption of potential evidence"

This week, Xiotech Corporation launched the Magnitude 3D 1000m mobile storage area network specifically designed to meet the needs of government agencies. The Magnitude 3D 1000m makes it easier for government agencies to efficiently deploy mobile SANs. With the Magnitude 3D 1000m agencies can swiftly and cost-effectively deploy a SAN that can be easily relocated in the event of emergency, and can also serve as a mobile field lab for the collection and analysis of digital evidence.

Exponential data growth is spurring a growing need for solutions that government agencies can use for disaster protection and recovery, the collection of digital evidence and other purposes. Magnitude 3D 1000m makes the collection, analysis, transport and storage of data easy and affordable.

Magnitude 3D 1000m is a fully configured, self-contained, modular storage system that can be easily transported and quickly deployed and features all the storage, SAN, Ethernet and gateway capabilities needed to place a data collection and analysis system in a lab or field location. Built upon the Magnitude 3D foundation, Magnitude 3D 1000m leverages the Magnitude family's ease-of-use without sacrificing functionality. The low learning curve means that it can be used in the field by virtually any investigative team without the need for IT administrators or storage specialists. Once on site, teams can be operational in minutes, and can relocate just as quickly and easily.

"Magnitude 3D 1000m [...addresses] the unique needs of government agencies struggling with mountains of data growth and collecting digital evidence," said Mike Stolz, vice president of marketing at Xiotech. "The ability to take data and go, or arrive at an investigative site with a complete mobile SAN means that investigators run much less risk of contamination or corruption of potential evidence. And that in turn leads to many more successful outcomes when difficult cases come to trial."

Magnitude 3D 1000m is available now from both Xiotech direct sales and through value-added resellers (VARs) participating in Xiotech's Dimensional Partner Program.

Pricing is dependent upon the configuration. But the company did say a 1000m system with 6 TB storage, fibre channel switch, ethernet switch and gateway servers, transportable mobile cases, slide-out keyboard, mouse, flip-up LCD display, and management software is priced around $250,000. Larger and small storage configurations are available.
