About LeftHand Networks
LeftHand Networks re-defined shared network storage in 2001 with the introduction of the first full-featured IP Storage Area Network (SAN). By building a SAN with LeftHand's SAN/iQ software and the existing Ethernet infrastructure, the LeftHand solution provides all the functionality of alternative SANs while eliminating the learning curve, complexity, and expensive components. SAN/iQ — the intelligence behind the SAN — spreads the power of the LeftHand SAN across all storage modules using a distributed storage model. The advantages for users include simple management and unlimited, dynamic growth, no single point of failure, and performance that scales up as storage capacity grows. The LeftHand SAN is ideal for server and storage consolidation, centralized backup, and disaster recovery projects.
