AcroRed Technologies Inc.
AcroRed Technologies Inc. is a Taiwanese-based manufacturer and technology provider that specializes in advanced data storage, virtualization, and network connectivity solutions. Established in 2007, the company has positioned itself within the "Communications and Connectivity" sector by concentrating on block-level storage protocols, primarily Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI), and robust data protection technologies like Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID). The company operates as a key supplier in the data center and enterprise storage markets, with a broad international export market spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, indicating a global reach for its specialized hardware and software offerings.
The core mission of AcroRed Technologies Inc. is to provide high-availability, scalable, and cost-effective storage area network (SAN) solutions that leverage standard Ethernet infrastructure, which is a fundamental benefit of iSCSI technology. Their products are certified with key international standards including BSMI, VCCI, CE, and FCC, ensuring their compliance and quality for global deployment.
Continue…Core Business and Technology Focus
AcroRed Technologies Inc. centers its operations around developing and manufacturing iSCSI Storage and RAID systems. These products form the backbone of their offerings, facilitating data consolidation, centralized management, and disaster recovery for small, medium, and large enterprises.
- iSCSI Storage: This involves manufacturing target devices that allow servers (initiators) to access block-level storage over a standard TCP/IP network. By creating iSCSI Storage Builder products, AcroRed enables customers to deploy an IP SAN that is often a more affordable and simpler-to-manage alternative to traditional Fibre Channel SANs, using existing Ethernet networking equipment.
- RAID Systems: The company integrates various RAID levels into its storage arrays to provide data redundancy, performance enhancement, and fault tolerance. This ensures that a system can continue to operate and data remains accessible even in the event of one or more hard drive failures.
Products and Services Portfolio
The company???s product portfolio is structured into comprehensive solution sets that address modern data infrastructure challenges, including cloud enablement, disaster recovery, and desktop virtualization.
1. iSCSI Cloud Storage Solutions
AcroRed provides a line of dedicated iSCSI Cloud Storage products, designed for high-performance and reliable access to data in cloud and virtualized environments.
- iSCSI Cloud Storage Series: This includes the AIS-F8000 Series and AIS-F9000 Series, which are hardware storage arrays optimized for high-speed iSCSI connectivity. These arrays act as the centralized data repository for network clients.
- Storage Cloud: Under the AcroCloud brand, the company offers specific cloud storage solutions like the ACS-T042G, ACS-U082G, and the ACS-F8000 Series. These solutions allow end-users to access personal or enterprise data via a web browser using HTTP/HTTPS protocols, bridging the gap between block-level iSCSI storage and file-level cloud accessibility. The offering also includes configurations like the ACS-F8000 Series + IP SAN.
2. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Solutions
A core focus for AcroRed is the provision of hyperconverged infrastructure for Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI) deployments, often referred to as Desktop Cloud. These solutions combine compute, storage, and virtualization into a single system, streamlining the management of virtual desktops.
- Hyperconverged VDI Offerings: The VDI solutions are categorized by scale to suit different organizational sizes and demands:
- Small-Scale Hyperconverged VDI (Small Cloud)
- Middle-Scale Hyperconverged VDI (Middle Cloud)
- Large-Scale Desktop Cloud Infrastructure (Large Cloud)
- Super-Scale Desktop Cloud Infrastructure (Super Cloud)
3. Disaster Recovery (DR) Solutions
The company delivers comprehensive data protection and disaster recovery capabilities built on top of its iSCSI storage infrastructure. These features are critical for maintaining business continuity and minimizing downtime.
- High Availability (HA) Solutions: This includes HA (High Availability) and HA Fast Recovery features, which ensure that the storage system remains operational with minimal service interruption through redundancy and automatic failover mechanisms.
- Replication and Cloning: Key services include Remote Replication for synchronizing data to an offsite location, Remote Clone, and Volume Clone for creating full, independent copies of data volumes.
- Point-in-Time Protection: Offerings like Scheduled Snapshot provide immutable, point-in-time copies of data for quick restoration, while Near CDP (Continuous Data Protection) offers fine-grained recovery points to minimize data loss.
4. Storage Management Features
AcroRed???s products incorporate advanced software-defined storage features for efficient resource utilization and simplified management.
- Thin Provisioning: This feature allows for the logical presentation of more storage capacity than is physically installed, allocating actual storage space only when data is written.
- IP SAN: This is the foundational technology that allows the company's storage arrays to connect via standard IP networks, enabling centralized and remote storage management.
- iClone: A specific cloning technology for fast and efficient data duplication and testing environments.
By integrating these specialized software and hardware components, AcroRed Technologies Inc. functions as a dedicated provider of mission-critical storage and networking appliances, particularly for organizations seeking a balance of high performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency within an Ethernet-based infrastructure.
