Overview:
The M-Series is designed for enhanced performance in highly active application and database configurations and offers multiple storage node capacities, drive technologies and cache options. All offer datacenter-class power and network redundancy. M-Series storage nodes are offered in SATA or SAS disk configurations. In comparison to the S-Series, M-Series nodes offer increased amounts of cache and are available with quad 1GbE or dual 10GbE ports.
Scale's ICOS (Intelligent Clustered Operating SystemTM)
The next step in the evolution of unified storage. Because Scale's ICOS is a clustered rather than controller-based architecture, clusters contain a minimum of three nodes that provide redundancy and data protection in the rare event of a drive or node failure. Scale's entire suite of storage products is designed to reduce your costs, increase control, and make storage more convenient to manage.

Features:
Scale's products offer the following features:
| Feature Highlights | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scale-out architecture | The Intelligent Clustered Operation System (ICOS™) creates a single storage pool spanning all devices that can be expanded over time as demands require, so you never outgrow your storage. | |||
| Unified storage | Simultaneous SAN and NAS support in the same storage system without any additional hardware or licensing costs makes consolidation easier to manage. | |||
| No Single point of Failure | For stress-free storage, all data exists on two different nodes. In the event of a failure, failure data access continues on the secondary node without any interruption to services while it is also automatically mirrored to a remaining node in the cluster without the need for a hot-standby disk. | |||
| Thin provisioning | Over-allocation of capacity enables higher system utilization, avoiding the need for purchasing additional storage prematurely. | |||
| Snapshots | Efficient copy-on-write snapshot support. | |||
| Remote replication | Block-level difference replication with multi-site support for one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-one replication over the WAN. | |||
| Storage Area Network Support | ||||
| SAN protocols | iSCSI | |||
| Max LUNs | 255 | |||
| Hosts supported | All standards-compliant iSCSI initiators (VMware, Windows, Linux, MacOS) | |||
| Security | IP based access control, CHAP Authentication | |||
| High availability | Virtual IP failover of iSCSI targets | |||
| Load balancing | Multipath support incl. SPC-3 persistent reservation targets | |||
| Network Attached Storage Support | ||||
| NAS protocols | NFS, CIFS | |||
| SECURITY (NFS) | IP/Host based access control | |||
| SECURITY (CIFS) | ADS Authentication (Kerberos) | |||
| High availability | Virtual IP Addresses are used to serve NAS protocols. In the case of a node / Ethernet failure, another node will pick up the down IP and continue to communicate with the client without losing connectivity. | |||
| Load balancing | DNS round robin resolution of virtual IP addresses | |||
| Management | ||||
| Management interface | Serial Console and web browser-based Administrative GUI over https | |||
| Notification methods | Email, Syslog, Web Administrative GUI | |||
| Remote support | Administrator controlled access to the system by Scale Support via SSH | |||

Configuration:
Storage nodes are available in two basic performance configurations, each with multiple capacity choices. Explore the types of hardware used in various storage nodes and find the storage system that fits your needs. When needs change, storage nodes of any series and capacity can be added to a cluster, keeping storage costs aligned with actual needs.
* As every environment is different, make sure you call Scale Computing to configure the best solution for your needs.

Case Study:
The Clabber Girl Corporation, manufacturer of Clabber Girl Baking Powder, transitioned from an aging physical server infrastructure with direct attached disk to a virtual infrastructure with shared storage. Their choice of a scale-out, unified Scale Computing storage cluster was an essential component to achieve high availability for critical business applications.
