Infortrends EonStor GS System with Cloud Integration
Integrated cloud solution as Unified Storage System
Powerful memory with flexible approach
Infortrend’s EonStor GS series of storage solutions from Infortrend enable you to purchase a unified storage architecture that consolidates SAN, NAS and cloud into a single system.
Unified Storage Architecture and Cloud Gateway integrate the flexibility of file and block-based data storage and the unlimited scalability of storage capacity thanks to cloud integration.
As a unified storage system with cloud integration, the Infortrend EonStor GS enables companies to use storage space as file-, block- and object-based storage. Optimal for structured and unstructured data. This not only simplifies the provision and management of different file types, but also reduces the costs incurred by integrating a powerful cloud gateway into a unified storage system.
Unified Storage with Cloud Gateway
Thanks to its integrated Intelligent Cloud Gateway Engine, EonStor GS unified storage systems can be configured as a cloud storage cache. This way, they keep active data locally and move inactive data to the cloud. Thus, the flexibility of the cloud, its unlimited scalability and guaranteed availability is optimally used. Currently the following cloud service providers are supported among others: Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Google Clouds and Alibaba AliCloud.
EonStor GS unified storage systems support numerous SSD and hybrid storage configurations. They achieve performance levels that were previously promised but never achieved, with, for example, over 450K IOPS and a permanent data throughput of 11,000 MB/s at block level, and 6,600 MB/s at file level. In addition, they offer comprehensive data services such as automated storage tiering, SSD cache, local and remote replication, file-level rsync and intelligent drive recovery (IDR).
A flexible solution for different workloads
- A unified storage solution for all cases – SAN, NAS and Cloud combined in one system
- SSDs can be used in the hybrid storage array either as cache or tiering
- Modular host configuration in SAN environments with Fibre Channel, iSCSI, InfiniBand and SAS
- Fast Ethernet is possible between one and 40GbE
High performance flexibly designed
Powerful and efficient all-round high performance
With powerful hardware and optimized firmware, the GS Series effectively integrates many protocol families. In the file area, for example with CIFS/SMB, NFS, AFP and FTP as well as with Fiber Channel, iSCSI and SAS at block level.
Through their integration and the utilization of Intel’s multi-core CPUs, the EonStor GS family offers not only outstanding flexibility but also incredible performance in both all-flash and hybrid versions. In addition, functions such as SSD caching enable protocol conversion between local NAS/SAN and the cloud.
Buy the Infortrend GS Series variability
Automated memory tiering ensures exceptional performance at every level of operation. Deduplication and compression also offer efficient use of available bandwidth while reducing overall costs.
With specialized EonStor sub-families - GSe in the basic segment, GSe Pro as a desktop solution and GSi for compute-intensive GPU challenges - users can still find the right storage solution for their needs.
The GSe subseries has always represented the entry level. Despite some exceptions, it will complement the GS series with its dual controllers in the single controller segment in the future.
System under control
User-friendly administration via EonOne for GS included
From the further development in the Infortrend storage platforms, the developers distilled the effective EonOne for GS management software especially for the EonStor GS line. It makes it easier for users to manage systems while improving storage and service efficiency. The intuitive interface design thus enables centralized management of several systems at the same time. This means that the administrator always has performance and capacities in view and can quickly adapt all system configurations.
New level in high availability
EonStor GS provides an active-active block-level HA service to deliver sensitive services, making it an ideal solution for mission-critical applications. Companies with an extremely low tolerance for downtime can thus cope with planned or unplanned events such as hardware damage, system maintenance or human error.
- Auto-failover and failback ensure uninterrupted operation and a very low recovery time (RTO): The HA service monitored by a Witness server ensures automatic transition between two storages. Thanks to the continuous availability, users do not even notice an interruption of the service.
- Synchronous remote replication ensures that no data is lost and the RPO (Recovery Point Objective) reaches almost zero: the HA service constantly replicates identical and complete copies of the data from one storage device to the other. Therefore, both systems are ready to step in at any time, greatly reducing the risk of data loss.
- Full utilisation of storage resources with active-active architecture: By tasking both storage devices with providing services simultaneously, you can optimise your resources to a greater extent compared to active-passive clusters.

Space-saving space utilization
Infortrend offers in this – as well as in other product families – a variety of housing variants and expansion options. 2U with 12 drives, 2U in 24 or 25 bay configuration, 3U with 16 media, 4U with 24 bays or even a 4U 60 bay giant. This allows companies to effectively use the limited space available for IT applications and, if necessary, to expand it.
U.2 All-Flash Unified Storage Support 100GbE RDMA
The EonStor GS U.2 NVMe all-flash storage models (GS 3024UT and GS 4024U) are high-performance enterprise storage solutions within the GS series. Equipped with U.2 NVMe SSDs, they deliver higher IOPS rates and throughputs at a cost-effective price.
Like the other models in the unified storage series, they support both SAN and NAS services. In addition, scale-out expansions at the block and file level are possible for a linear increase in performance and capacity. The fast storages are therefore perfect for applications such as HPC, M&E, virtualisation and databases.
- 100GbE RDMA
- Up to 1100K IOPS
- Up to 24/12 GB/s throughput
- Supports PCIe Gen 4 drives
- Scale-out
- Auto-tiering
App Store on Docker
Using sophisticated applications for themselves
In addition, there are templates for various Docker Container images such as for artificial intelligence (AI), for Internet of Things (IoT), for video surveillance and much more. They also contain the appropriate Docker Container Images – including parameters of the execution environment. These templates also allow you to install and run Docker Containers quickly and with little effort.
