Data Sheet
The StorTrends®3100n is an aordable 3U, high-density rack-mount
Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance, perfect for workgroups or
departments. It provides a reliable way to manage and store valuable business
data without complexity. Easy to install, the 3100n enables an administrator
to coordinate all functions relating to discovery, management, tracking and
planning for future storage growth.
AMI’s StorTrends® 3100n NAS
appliance is an ideal alternative to
traditional Direct Attached Storage
(DAS) environments. The StorTrends
NAS appliances make it simple to
centralize le data storage from
Windows, UNIX, Linux and Mac clients
across an existing Ethernet network.
The StorTrends 3100n oers
maximum data protection with
RAID 5 with network connectivity to
major operating systems, perfect for
workgroups or departmental storage
that are experiencing rapid data
growth.
Administrators can save time and
moneybydeployingStorTrends3100n
NAS appliances instead of inexible
DAS units. Adding capacity in a DAS
environment means adding a server,
which requires downtime. Adding
capacity with AMI’s StorTrends 3100n
means no downtime for users, and
can be implemented for both quick,
additional and long-term storage,
as well as improved disk utilization
when compared to DAS.

3U NAS Storage Appliance
torTrends
The StorTrends 3100n oers
fteen hot-swappable drive bays
with SATA support, and network
teaming support that ensures load
balancing across the dual Ethernet
ports. UPS support enables the
automatic switching of the RAID
cache mode to write-through in the
event of a power loss.
Data security is enhanced by the
advanced snapshot capabilities of the
StorTrends 3100n. The administrator
has the power to rollback, review,
and mount data snapshots to recover
lost data quickly and with precision,
just moments after a catastrophe.
Management of StorTrends
appliances can be done using the
integrated web-based GUI, or with
ManageTrends™, AMI’s storage
management software. Users
managing more than one StorTrends
appliance can use ManageTrends
to discover and manage appliances
across the network. Manage Trends
also provides event management, a
detailed analysis of enterprise-wide
storage usage, and storage server
availability reporting.

Advanced Features
Advanced Snapshot Technology
AMI’s Advanced Snapshot technology enables
up to 254 snapshots (R/O and R/W) per
volume. The module allows for rapid creation
and deletion of a snapshot with near-zero
degradation, permitting faster back-ups than
ever before - with the assurance of a complete
and secure back-up. Advanced Snapshot
technology is focused on performance,
enabling customers to mount a snapshot as a
volume, read from a snapshot simultaneously,
instantaneously roll back to a snapshot and
delete it.
Snap-assisted Replication
This technology allows replication of
snapshots in chronological order on
a remote machine. Snapshots can be
organized by application-based consistency
groups. In fail-over to a secondary appliance,
StorTrends iTX will automatically rollback to
the latest consistent snapshot.
Advanced Caching Technology
Advanced Caching, a unique technology
created by AMI, utilizes sector granularity
technology based on an AMI proprietary
mechanism, resulting in outstanding
performance gains. Advanced Caching
technology assists in snapshot read-modify-
writes and in replication.
