  • Accommodates sixteen the latest 3Gbps, SATA-II disk drives; backward compatible with SATA-I drives
  • ASIC architecture capable of unprecedented read/write performance:510/350 (MB/sec)
  • Highest fault tolerance with RAID6 configuration
  • Support up to 2GB DDR RAM DIMM module
  • Hot-swappable battery backup unit (BBU) available
  • SAN-ready subsystem in an enhanced modular enclosure

Specifications
  RAID
 
  • Multiple arrays configurable with dedicated or global hot spares
  • RAID levels supported: RAID 0, 1 (0+1), 3, 5, 6, 10, 30, 50, 60, NRAID and JBOD
  • Online expansion by:
    • Adding new drives
    • Copying and replacing drives with drives of larger capacity
  • Automatic background rebuilds
  • Configurable stripe size and write policy per array
  • Intelligent drive handling:
    • In degraded mode: skips irreparable blocks to continue rebuild
    • In normal operation: data-block verification and repair
  Subsystem Components
 
  • Redundant controller configuration provides full RAID functionalities
    • One (1) enhanced 3U enclosure

    • Two (2) hot-swappable, redundant, dual-fan cooling modules running in high/low speeds
    • One (1) optional BBU
    • Sixteen (16) hot-swappable drives
    • Two (2) front handles
  Host Interface
 
  • Two (2) FC-4G host channels; backward compatible with 1 or 2G-FC
  • Auto-negotiate FC-AL, point-to-point, or switched fabric
  • Concurrent I/O commands
  • Tagged command queuing up to 256
  • Variable stripe size per logical drive
  • Optimization setting for random or sequential I/Os
  Drive Interface
 
  • Sixteen (16) hot-swappable 3Gbps SATA-II drive trays that accommodate 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch SATA-II or SATA-I disk drives
  • Automatic bad-sector reassignment
  • Dedicated bandwidth to each connected drive
  Management
 
  • Firmware-embedded utility via LCD keypad or RS-232C port
  • Host-side SES emulation with pass-through to back-end SES emulation
  • VT-100 terminal emulation via RS-232C
  • Telnet access via onboard Ethernet port
  • 10/100 BaseT Ethernet for out-of-band management
  • Two (2) COM ports for local access to firmware-embedded utility and UPS connectivity
  • Firmware-embedded Java-based manager:
    • Graphical user interface
    • Local/remote management; in-band or out-of-band via TCP/IP
    • Centralized management to monitor and administer multiple RAID units on one screen
    • Secure link over SSL
  • Configuration Client for easy access to the configuration utility screen
  • SNMP 2.0 MIBs with get and set commands
  SAN Management
 
  • Up to 1024 LUNs (if sufficiently large memory is used with the proper settings)
  Indicators
 
  • Onboard alarm is triggered when one of the following fails:
    • RAID controller module
    • Cooling module
    • Power supply unit
    • Hard drive
    • BBU module
  • Module status LED indicators:
    • Two (2) per drive tray

  • Module failure alert through I2C bus
  • Event notifications sent over email, fax, LAN broadcast, SNMP traps, MSN messenger, ICQ, SMS short messages
  • System alerts through Java-based RAIDWatch manager
  IOSmart
  IOSmart allows for the flexible configuration of logical drives, logical volumes and logical partitions and ensures instant RAID availability via background logical drive initialization. Fibre loops' load balancing is provided within the subsystem. The firmware's embedded intelligent algorithms, such as Adaptive Write Policy and Guaranteed Latency I/O, improve sequential write performance and ensure the fast and continuous flow of data.
  DrvSmart
  The DrvSmart utility provides an easy way to store data while keeping it safe. One of the main DrvSmart functions, Media Scan, retrieves data from degraded or damaged hard drives and handles low quality drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process. Other DrvSmart features include disk cloning, drive roaming, SMART, transparent resetting of non-responsive hard drives, and RAID parity update tracking and recovery.
  SysSmart
  SysSmart combines enclosure monitoring and firmware management capabilities in order to minimize the chance of down time caused by hardware failures. The Auto data protection mechanisms are developed to ensure data safety. Other SysSmart functions include the event-triggered and the various monitoring utilities and monitoring approaches combined with the powerful RAIDWatch manager. Component status, voltage and temperature readings, and system events are instantly revealed through the manager's graphical interface.
