The Raidzone Gangstor is a group of two or more OpenNAS servers, holding two or more copies of your data, with automatic failover. Each Gangstor member is the primary server for half its storage capacity and back-up server for the other half. The Gangstor's architecture is designed to seamlessly handle the partial or complete failure of any one server in the gang. It automatically maintains NFS. SMB and iSCSI services if one server fails. You can also have synchronous mirroring, local or remote access as the servers are mirrored in real time at the block level over a standard TCP/IP link. The server is available from 1TB up to 20TB or more.

Cost: $29,950/pair
