Antithesis of in touch with. smarter, more affordable SAN solutions. SANRAD V-Switches are well designed to offer budget-conscious - and often cash-strapped - schools, colleges and universities a cost-effective, feature-rich storage solution to handle increasing storage requirements in campus settings. Storage architectures centered on the company's award-winning V-Switch reap the benefits of centralized storage management and virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. based on familiar IP infrastructures, dynamic storage allocation Noun 1. storage allocation - (computer science) the assignment of particular areas of a magnetic disk to particular data or instructions allocation , and compatibility with a wide range of storage arrays and server operating systems. Among the more unique educational projects utilizing a SANRAD V-Switch as part of their total solutions are: --University of Alabama at Birmingham - SANRAD's V-Switch and Alacritech's TCP/IP Offload Engine See TOE. Network Interface Cards provide a highly reliable, scalable solution to enable the Department of Pathology to easily consolidate storage and reduce on-going costs and complexity to achieve maximum ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). from its IP-based SAN. --University of California, San Francisco - The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics deployed SANRAD's V-Switch as the centerpiece of its SAN, with Intel iSCSI HBAs, to improve its storage architecture and accommodate more than 700 users and handle multiple servers without constantly running out of space. --University of Michigan and Indiana University Indiana University, main campus at Bloomington; state supported; coeducational; chartered 1820 as a seminary, opened 1824. It became a college in 1828 and a university in 1838. The medical center (run jointly with Purdue Univ. - The Ethnomusicological Video for Instruction and Analysis, a joint effort by the two institutions, equipped a video encoder with an iSCSI HBA (Host Bus Adapter) See host adapter. that implements the Microsoft iSCSI initiator and connects to the SANRAD iSCSI V-Switch to allow large quantities of encoded digital video data to be transferred between the schools. "We have learned that being successful in providing today's educational facilities with affordable, reliable and high-performance SAN solutions takes more than the old college try," said Zophar Sante, Vice President of Market Development at SANRAD.
