Explore the features and benefits of the CyberStore DSS Range

Compatible with Industry Standards

Initial Configurations Wizard

As soon as the CyberStore DSS storage server starts, the Setup Wizard helps you with all the network and system settings - you get up fast, with built-in help, and can see immediate results

Task and Schedule Manager

Tasks can be automatically scheduled for data, volume replication and snapshots - making it easy to setup, so you can concentrate on other tasks

Automated Update and Rollback of OS

The automated update and rollback makes it easy to update and get the latest features and is also simple to rollback if there is an issue that needs to be resolved first - reducing system downtime

Monitoring & E-mail Notification

the CyberStore DSS range will automatically notifies the system administrator via e-mail when there are RAID or HDD problems, making it easy to troubleshoot and quickly fix problems

Most Stable

Linux Operating System

The CyberStore DSS range is built on Open-E storage management software which runs on a Linux Platform because of its proven stability, unlike others which are less stable or which have limited and diminishing support for new hardware

Journaling Support

The system tracks and logs changes prior to affecting the main file system, making the file system more reliable

Price - Performance Leader

Continuous Data Protection

Provides continuous backup/replication of data - far superior to 24 hour snapshot backups (lose approx. 17 e-mails in between backups, versus up to 10,000 on an Exchange e-mail system) - also much quicker to restore (20 minutes vs. 3-5 hour tape backup). If available, usually an expensive option for other storage solutions

High-Availability over 2 Nodes

The Broadberry CyberStore DSS range can recognise hardware/software failure and immediately re-starts the application on another system without requiring admin intervention or downtime which further reduces downtime at no extra cost

Upgrade Ability

Simultaneously run volumes in the active mode on two nodes - providing high availability of data.

CyberStore DSS with Active-Active Failover

Thanks to the Active-Active functionality, overall cluster performance is improved since the read, write and replication traffic can be balanced on both nodes. Within just a few minutes, you will have up to several hundred gigabytes available on your network without much effort and no downtime.

  • This feature enables you to simultaneously run volumes in the active mode on two nodes - providing high availability of data.
  • If one node fails, the other one takes over automatically and all application services continue to run without interruption.
  • Once the failed node is available again in the resource pool, the storage administrator can move the activity of selected volumes back to the node of choice.

Broadberry Open-E Active-Active Failover solutions provide superior perfromance, security and scalability at a fraction of the cost of alternative storage solutions

The flexible design of Open-E DSS V7 enables organisations of all sizes to create effective iSCSI solutions that can adapt to and meet the simplest or the most complex storage needs.
