Palmer’s College deploys Coraid no-single-point-offailure architecture for VMware vSphere
Palmer’s College, a 300 year old educational establishment in Thurrock, Essex, deployed Coraid Ethernet SAN storage as part of a large datacenter VMware virtualization project.By turning to Coraid to build an Ethernet SAN Palmer’s College found a solution that out-performed Fibre Channel alternatives for a fraction of the cost. It meant that the College was also able to protect its data and operations with a no-single-point–of-failure architecture, avoiding downtime for emails and student records.

iSCSI vs. Fibre Channel SANs: Three Reasons Not To Choose Either
Over the past five years storage costs have soared to more than 40% of the IT budget, and data growth is only accelerating. Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage systems are not delivering the price-performance and agility at the storage layer required to keep up with the new virtualized compute layer. IT organizations are forced to make tradeoffs between price-performance and complexity based on their application requirements. The following paper explores a third storage networking technology, Ethernet SAN and why you shouldn't have to choose between iSCSI and Fibre Channel.

Coraid Technology Overview: ATA over Ethernet
ATA over Ethernet is the simplest possible way of sharing a disk drive through a network. The communication that would take place between the motherboard and IDE disk drive is arranged into data packets and sent through the Ethernet.
AoE is not built on IP, TCP, or other protocols. It is simple and direct. Packets are addressed to devices using their low level Ethernet addresses (MAC addresses), not IP numbers.

Coraid EtherDrive SRX3200 Datasheet
Coraid’s EtherDrive SRX3200 Storage Appliance is a fast and simple alternative to iSCSI and Fibre Channel RAID boxes. EtherDrive storage uses the open ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE) storage protocol. AoE is a simple way to move storage out of your servers and onto an Ethernet storage network. With AoE, disk read/write requests are placed directly into Ethernet frames. The AoE protocol doesn’t need TCP/IP so its easy to process and doesn’t require special network interface cards.
