KernSafe Technologies Inc., A world leader in security storage and iSCSI solutions, announced today release of iStorage Server version 2.60 with very significant performance improvement.

Thanks to hard work of all developers from KernSafe Technologies, iStorage Server was updated to version 2.60. This version characterizes with significant performance improvement. We performed very extensive testing in order to pinpoint what can be improved in iStorage Server in term of speed.

Those tests showed us some areas that were lacking of optimization, therefore now iStorage Server is one of the fastest iSCSI Servers for Windows currently available on the market. Our tests show that iStorage Server 2.60 is around 30-60% faster while comparing to previous version 2.50. That also improved stability that is especially required by High Availability feature – allowing servers to synchronize even faster. It will also be beneficial for everyone that is transferring large amount of data. Below you may see charts comparing iStorage Server 2.60, to old version 2.50 as well as to popular Linux and other Windows based iSCSI Server.

We can clearly see that new version, 2.60 is significantly faster than the old 2.50. All tests were performed between same machines and testes using HDSpeed with 256K block size.

iStorage Server is advanced and powerful iSCSI Target software. Using all benefits that comes from iSCSI, iStorage Server will improve overall management of your network storage by helping you to consolidate it. You can use it to export any SCSI based device, as well as all popular CD/DVD Images. That in the other hand will help you to centrally manage your devices. Most important features that will easily benefit in use for business are: High-Availability, RAID-1, VHD files, snapshots and continuous data protection (CDP & COW).

iStorage Server is software based iSCSI Target, hence it doesn’t require any special hardware to work. Now you can easily create IP SAN using hardware you already have. User will be able to turn space on a Windows file system into iSCSI Target and allow any computer that is connected to Ethernet network to use that storage at very cost-effective and scalable rate.
