Boston is proud to present the Syncro series Fenway IIS cluster, featuring Microsoft Windows Server 2012 combined with LSI Syncro® CS - a unique high availability DAS technology.
Delivering IIS with high levels of uptime at a fraction of the cost and complexity of traditional cluster solutions based on Fibre Channel or iSCSI storage, the Syncro series is the smart choice for SME administrators being challenged to deliver always-on services without breaking the bank.
The Boston Fenway IIS Syncro series is a redundant yet simple to administer Microsoft Windows Server 2012 cluster comprised of two Supermicro servers featuring the latest Intel E5-2600 processors. The solution uses two LSI Syncro® controller cards to create high availability direct-attached storage as an alternative to traditional Fibre Channel or iSCSI shared storage arrays.
Both high-performance cluster nodes are configured to share a common sTec dual expander SAS disk shelf for backend data storage, eliminating the need for a costly shared storage SAN implementation. 24 hot pluggable drive bays support both high capacity, high performance 2.5" hard disk or solid state disks, all housed together in one space saving 2U rack mounted enclosure for maximum density. Additionally, redundant power supply and I/O modules guarantee availability in the unlikely event of failure, granting much needed peace of mind.
LSI Syncro® uses a clustering configuration where controller to controller connectivity is provided through the SAS interface instead of a traditional Ethernet link, enabling more efficient shared storage and high levels of availability. Controllers are able to mirror their cache data through direct SAS links to enable the highest performance and lowest latency possible, yet still deliver resilience in the event of system failure.
This technology also allows both controllers to be active on the same RAID volumes for resource load balancing, helping to ensure that applications are using the most responsive server to boost performance and help prevent any one server from being overburdened.
Combined with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 the Syncro series is a powerful IIS cluster solution supporting some of the most challenging applications in IT today - delivering your data, anyplace, anytime. Internet Information Services (IIS) 8.0 in Windows Server® 2012 provides a secure, easy-to-manage, modular and extensible platform for reliably hosting websites, services and applications. With IIS, you get choice and control without giving up reliability or security. Customize and add new features, such as Intelligent Media Streaming through free IIS Extensions. Maximize web security through a reduced server foot print and automatic application isolation.
Based on the widely accepted and supported Windows Server platform, implementation and administration is incredibly straightforward, especially for administrators already familiar with other Microsoft products. In addition to the benefits of familiarity, native support for active directory makes domain integration and management a simple task.
