more info

Imperial's popular SANaccelerator can breath new life into switched fabric SAN's in mid- size enterprises with heterogeneous servers. Dual ports allow for redundant switch connectivity and Imperial's SANaccess provides LUN security.

One example is Netflix, where dual 18GB SANaccelerators are switch fabric attached to Sun E4500 servers for high availability. Netflix deployed critical Oracle 8i tables on the SANaccelerators and subsequently realized a 25% improvement in order processing.

"The SANaccelerator has done exactly what Imperial said it would and that's really helped us run our business." Ganesh Raghavan, IT Manager of Systems & Databases

Budgetary pricing starts at $25k
