Performance
The SANSlide product range is designed specially for linking remote discrete storage without the performance penalties normally associated with connecting storage devices over long distances. By using Artificial Intelligence (AI) combined with its unique network latency busting techniques and scaleable architecture, SANSlide provides a highly flexible tool to enhance any Disaster Recovery, remote replication or remote backup strategy for the SME and Enterprise alike.

SANSlide builds upon nearly 30 years of highly modular design experience. This allows us to offer a flexibility that is unrivalled in any product that transport storage data over vast distances. SANSlide encompasses all the major storage protocols: iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SCSI and SAS in any combinations. Not only does this support the modern data centres with SANs at the heart of the storage strategy but also other companies that have legacy storage infrastructures.

Incorporating sophisticated AI algorithms into the heart of SANSlide has made a major leap forward in network management. SANSlide constantly monitors the performance of the link between two nodes and responds to changes in the network conditions such as packet loss, latency and QOS pushback by changing a range of network and paralleled pipeline parameters to ensure optimum performance at all times. This removes a massive burden on administration staff as the product is self-managing and always operating at its optimum.

The SANSlide product range is designed specially for linking discrete storage devices over long distances to form a part of a linked SAN topology, remote replication, backup or data migration strategy. By using Artificial Intelligence (AI) combined with its unique network latency busting techniques and scaleable architecture, SANSlide provides a highly flexible tool to enhance any Disaster Recovery, remote replication or remote backup strategy for the SME and Enterprise alike.

Performance over vast distances

Whether you need remote backup, remote storage, co-location or simply need to reliably move data over a wide area network, SANSlide maximises performance by utilising a new, highly innovative Paralleled TCP/IP Pipeline technology.  This technology reduces the effect of network latency to almost zero allowing storage data to be transported at full link speed irrespective of distance.
