Why pay now for storage that you might need in the future? LeftHand Networks allows you to add more units at any time in any increment without an expensive, bulky chassis.

Improve performance and availability. Each LeftHand Network Storage Module (NSM) is a fully integrated storage node, which include disk drives, cache, processors, controllers, etc. In short, each node is a complete storage system. Embedded virtualization lets you cluster individual nodes into a single logical pool of storage that grows in capacity and bandwidth with every node you add.

Tired of giving up your weekends for routine maintenance and upgrades? LeftHand SANs let you reconfigure your systems on the fly, during regular working hours. Unlike other SANs, LeftHand SANs come with a comprehensive set of software features at no additional costs and you don't have to purchase expensive add-ons for full functionality. Designed for maximum uptime and performance, LeftHand NSM storage systems are easy to install and easy to manage.

LeftHand allows you to leverage existing storage systems by incorporating different drive types into your SAN. Deploy different NSMs to correspond with varying business requirements throughout the organization, and manage them all as a single storage system from a single location.

Virtual SAN Appliance for VMware (VSA)

Virtualization is a huge benefit for companies, however when you have multiple applications running on a single server, more applications go down when a server fails.  VMware has developed features like High Availability (HA), VMotion and Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) to address these issues.  However to take advantage of these features you need storage: either external storage which is expensive or virtual storage like the LeftHand Networks VSA provides.  LeftHand Networks VSA lets you use your existing hardware that may be at the end of it’s lifecycle for storage.
