Highlights

 

DataON Kepler 2-node (K2N) hyper-converged appliances are designed for small-to-medium sized businesses, remote office/branch offices, edge, and IoT deployments. These deployments can present a challenge for IT departments because of constrained budgets, space and power footprints, and limited IT resources.

The DataON K2N-212 includes two 2U server nodes and switchless “back-to-back” networking support. Optimized for performance and capacity, it features NVMe cache and cost-effective HDDs for capacity. It is expandable to up to three storage tiers with additional SATA SSDs.

  • Features 2nd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors
  • Supports Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory and SSDs
  • Leverages 25/10GbE SMB3 RDMA fabric to connect the nodes, eliminating the need for costly network adapters and switches
  • Scalable to 3 to 16 nodes with an Ethernet fabric interconnect
  • Affordable entry-level price point
  • Get started in 15 minutes or less!​
  • Includes Windows Admin Center and DataON MUST visibility, monitoring, and management to provide SAN-like storage monitoring features through a single pane of glass. Also enables Azure management services such as Azure Site Recovery, Azure Backup, Cloud Witness, and Azure Monitor
  • ​​Validated for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and Windows Server Software-Defined (WSSD) for fast and easy deployments

Managed by MUST

 

DataON solutions include our exclusive MUST (Management Utility Software Tool) visibility, monitoring, and management tool that provides SAN-like storage monitoring features for Windows Server environments.

Leveraging the Windows Health Service API, MUST can provide visibility at the system level as well as the storage cluster/volume/node levels. Its dashboard view gives you operational visibility of system analytics, infrastructure health, storage system metrics, and even logging insights.

With system alerts based on Windows Health Service faults and SAN-like call home services, MUST can notify system administrators of hardware failures, configuration issues, and resource saturation.

MUST can also be used with Window Admin Center, providing unique functionality such as historical data reporting, disk mapping, system alerts and SAN-like call home services.
