Scalable High-Performance Virtual Disk Subsystem Create complete virtual disk solutions for your customers – cost effectively

The VDS-X Virtual Disk Subsystem is a scalable OEM/VAR solution you can use to meet your customers' needs for high-performance data protection and storage management. Instead of spending years developing a disk appliance solution for your customers, use VDS-X software to get your solution to market in record time — and deliver it under your own brand for a wide range of niche markets. VDS-X eliminates the typical integration headaches.

With a VDS-X virtual disk solution, you can deliver powerful functionality to your customers cost effectively, using commodity, off-the-shelf hardware. Along with ultra-high performance, your customers get the scalability and flexibility they need, at speeds up to 10 times faster than traditional physical disk systems (for example, JBOD). In addition, VDS-X supports multi-path access to virtual disks to provide scalable performance and fail-over management by the host computer.

The VDS-X product supports both Fibre Channel and iSCSI interfaces, as well as any block storage technology, including the new high-speed SATA RAID disk storage. Combining BSI’s ultra-high-performance disk emulation technology and the latest high-speed SATA RAID disk storage allows you to deliver a powerful product with ground-breaking price/performance to your customers.
