Want a truly affordable SAN? FibreJet enterprise-class storage network gives multiple computers concurrent access to terabytes of storage using just about anyone's storage over Fibre Channel. Apple’s Xsan costs $23,383 more than a 6-node FibreJet solution using identical equipment!
Higher-performance Storage Networking
FibreJet is sometimes 500% the performance of Xsan for the equivalent file-copy operation! FibreJet finds a file in 5 seconds compared to taking over 4 minutes with the same operation in Xsan!
Don’t get sucked into the Xsan-hype. FibreJet is the proven choice for storage and server consolidation, higher performance, lower cost, easy scalability and higher availability.

Sharing. Its a good thing. FibreJet lets you share files and volumes of virtually unlimited size over a Fibre Channel based network. Virtually unlimited systems on the SAN can read and write to shared storage simultaneously. Using your favorite standard disk utilities, you can pool data across multiple SAN storage (both RAID and JBOD) combined with multipathing for better performance. Each SAN attached computer accesses the storage as if it were directly attached, giving extreme performance for demanding applications such sharing HD video with a workgroup of editors, or cluster computing where high speed access to a shared data set allows each computer to calculate at maximum efficiency.
Work together. Like never before. Since all the SAN attached machines see the storage as if they were directly attached, you can share media among many machines concurrently, enabling true workgroup functionality like never before.
The freedom to collaborate. While others claim to play well with others
FibreJet actually delivers on the work together promise. With true best of class choices in all areas, FibreJet not only works with Fibre Channel switches from the likes of QLogic, Emulex and Brocade, but FibreJet also gives the customer choice when it comes down to the Storage and HBAs. FibreJet will work with just about anyone's RAID or JBOD storage, and also lets you mix and match your choice of HBAs, from the likes of QLogic, ATTO, Apple/LSI, Astera etc.
Higher Availability
FibreJet has less single points of failure than Xsan. In fact, since FibreJet is based on full Fibre Channel SAN architecture, the entire network can be provisioned for redundancy with multipathing, RAID, and Fibre Channel switch fabric topology. Additionally there is no metadata controller that can fail!
Easier Scalability, Easier to Setup, Easier to Manage
Since FibreJet storage works just like your current storage, there is nothing to relearn. Grow the network without disrupting users by simply adding or reconfiguring switches, storage, and servers as required. Setup is a snap, and so is using, your storage is just there like any other disk, if you want. Since management is built into every FibreJet, it can be managed from any machine on your network, or remotely using Apple Remote Desktop.
