The E5402E provides SAS connectivity and supports both SAS and SATA-II drive technology for superior performance in both direct attached and network storage environments.

IT budgets continue to decrease and today’s enterprises are faced with an ongoing challenge; to deliver high performance feature rich IT solutions capable of maintaining an exploding amount of network data, using an increasingly limited budget. These market forces are driving a migration from traditional SCSI to higher performance SAS server technology, and forcing IT managers to demand increasingly cost efficient storage solutions that support this move without compromising performance or reliability.

The E5402E RAID solution has been optimized to address these business dynamics. A combination of SAS connectivity and the ability to mix both SAS and SATA-II drive technology ensures the E5402E meets performance, flexibility and reliability requirements. Storview management software differentiates the solution, maximizing utilization and providing the administration features necessary to maintain the most complex data environments.
