JStor FC 8-bay RAID Array

Key Benefits
Third generation JStor III FC RAID array delivers reliable data protection combined with the high performance of 2Gbit Fiber Channel to support mission critical business applications. Engineered to meet stringent demands for continuous availability, JStor III FC RAID array features a brand-new 64-bit RISC processor for blazingly fast parity calculation and I/O operations, completely cableless backplane-based design, and storage capacities reaching 1.5TB in a small 3U enclosure.

Low service and integration costs are assured by the JStor's cableless design, two redundant hot-swappable power supplies, turbo cooling fans, and embedded RAID controller. Three year warranty comes standard with every array and covers all components.

Versatility is in the heart of the JStor III FC array. Indeed, it can be used as a tower desktop or be rackmounted into any standard 19" rack cabinet.

JStor III FC RAID addresses many challenges present in datacenters and delivers unparalleled storage flexibility, higher levels of data availability, management and configuration simplicity, all while securing maximum investment protection to support future growth.

Advanced Features

Fiber channel connection can support multiple hosts simultaneously in a switched configuration. Perfect for clustered environments, e.g. MSCS - Microsoft Cluster Server.

Up to eight half-height SCA Wide/Ultra3/LVD 3.5" SCSI disk drives.

RAID controller provides RAID 0, 0+1, 1, 3, and 5, Global Hot Spare Disk, Auto Rebuild, and up to 512 MB of SO-DIMM SDRAM-based data cache.

Intelligent SCSI backplane design (uses no cables) allows "hot swapping" of disk canisters, power supplies, and fans for increased reliability, lower cost, and ease of maintenance.

In-band FC monitoring and fault notification to fax / pager or e-mail.
