CometNAS is our (low-range) storage solutions brand, designed to address the needs that traditional vendors usually neglect: scalability and good performance at a very competitive price point.
Characterization
Block-oriented storage (optionally with a NAS ‘gateway’ added) intended for archival and backup-to-disk scenarios…
Though several customers use these as primary storage for virtualization clusters!
- Secondary storage: document archival, Virtual Machine disk image storage for development/integration testing purposes, etc.
- Warm storage: capacity tier, with reasonably high performance [under optimal conditions] but quite cost-effective
- Backup-to-disk target, either final or as an intermediate step/spool before being transferred to stable LTO storage.
