Built-In, Enterprise-Class Features
SAN/iQ® storage software is the cornerstone for managing LeftHand SANs. The patented architecture distributes intelligence across the storage nodes, then stripes data over the entire SAN, eliminating any single point of failure. LeftHand SANs include all of the SAN/iQ® features below at no additional cost, plus more than 20 additional features, making it the software platform of choice for any storage network.
Storage Clustering
LeftHand SANs are composed of multiple storage nodes, clustered together. Each storage node contains its own controller, so adding more nodes increases performance and redundancy along with storage capacity, eliminating performance bottlenecks associated with legacy SAN technologies.

Network RAID
Continuous data availability in the event of a network, disk, controller, or storage node failure. You can choose the Network RAID level that your data needs on a per-volume basis, and change it at any time.

Thin Provisioning
A powerful form of storage virtualization that lets you create large virtual storage volumes that only consume the capacity used by actual data, leaving no stranded storage capacity. New with SAN/iQ 8, SmartClone™ volumes increase SAN space efficiency even further by creating instant volume copies without actually duplicating the data on the SAN.

Snapshots
Instant point-in-time copies of your data on a volume-by-volume basis.

Remote Copy
Only the changes over time are synced to the remote volume, greatly speeding up data transfer over your network or WAN.
