Arista Networks, Inc. and IBRIX, Inc. have formed a technology alliance to deliver a scalable, cost-effective NAS and iSCSI cloud storage solution for financial services, media, Web2.0, HPC, and cloud computing applications. According to IBRIX, Arista's 7100 family of 10 GB ethernet switches provide an ideal interconnect for iSCSI and network attached storage (NAS) protocols. Coupled with IBRIX Fusion, a purpose-built scale-out NAS platform from IBRIX, they provide a solution that helps companies eliminate storage bottlenecks and increase I/O throughput for their increasingly demanding applications, while providing a flexible deployment methodology. The Arista 7100 and IBRIX Fusion delivered a single-stream file read performance of almost 600Mbps in a one-to-one client-to-file server ratio configuration, and a request/response rate of 46,000 per second, up to six times better than with 1 GB ethernet.

IBRIX Inc. unveiled IBRIX Fusion FileMigrator, a new data tiering feature that is available on IBRIX Fusion(TM) 4.2 software. IBRIX Fusion FileMigrator manages data movement across the entire global namespace, allowing IT administrators to set policies and move data according to usage in order to optimize storage resources, improve overall storage efficiency, and reduce total cost of ownership. IBRIX Fusion FileMigrator is policy-based and allows system administrators to set guidelines and automatically move infrequently accessed data to slower, cost-effective storage and store only the high-demand data on faster, higher performing storage. The file movement policy rules can be based on attributes such as file size or file type, last access time, file modification time, and user ownership. Even though files are moved physically between storage tiers, it is totally transparent to applications and to the end-users because the file directory location does not change.
