Advanced Features

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

Full 48-bit ATA addressing standard support allows for up to 144 petabytes capacity per drive to be utilized in the RAID array.

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

Intelligent IDE/ATA 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 JAVA based GUI.

Environmental Monitor module allows observation of critical operating parameters via the front LCD panel.

Completely user configurable via the front panel.
