SEPATON on Monday enhanced its S2100-ES2 Series 1910/2910 deduplication and backup appliances with the addition of new software that doubles the ingest rate of backup data to 1500MB/sec. per node or 43TB/hour over previous SEPATON models. The new 6.0 software allows grids of as many as eight nodes and supports multitenancy, allowing it to be suitable for cloud computing. Using 64-bit Xeon processors, the SEPATON S2100-ES2 Series 1910 and 2910 also have improved power efficiency and support for Symantec’s NetBackup OpenStorage (OST) on 10GbE and Fibre Channel. The S2100-ES2 Series 1910 and 2910 are available now starting at $257,500. New 6.0 software will be available to SEPATON customers on maintenance contracts for no charge.
