The Snap Server 520 by Adaptec combines
best-in-class performance with optional
capacity expansion that helps you maximize
your storage budget. With legendary Snap
Server ease of use and operation, an
integrated suite of data protection software,
and scalability to 66TB, it is ideal for any
size company that needs cost-effective, yet
scalable data storage for its growing
business.
Best-in-class performance
The Snap Server 520 is built on a 64-bit
system architecture with AMD Opteron™
technology and 512MB of memory for fast
throughput. It provides cost-effective
Serial ATA II (SATA II) disk drives and with
GuardianOS™ software it beats the
competition with the fastest random data
access speeds.
Availability
The Snap Server 520 integrates availability
features rarely found in a value-based
storage solution, including Ethernet teaming
failover, (combining two Ethernet ports on a
single address, which allows a path to fail
without taking down the network), hot-
swappable drives, and the ability to boot
from any drive. Two other rarely found
features are support for both four drives and
dual power supplies in a 1U system.
High scalability
The Snap Server 520 easily grows as your
data grows. Start with your choice of a 1TB,
2TB, or 3TB unit, and as needs change add
up to seven SANbloc S50 JBOD arrays by
Adaptec, to a maximum of 66TB. With
Instant Capacity Expansion (I.C.E.) the new
capacity is instantly available, without the
traditional RAID re-configuration downtime.
Block and file data storage
iSCSI target support built into the latest
version of the award-winning GuardianOS
platform allows you to store database,
email, and other block data on the same
server where you store file data.
GuardianOS also provides automatic cross-
platform file sharing, Unicode support,
global hot spare support, and enhanced
quota management.
Integrated data protection
The Snap Server 520 includes a complete
suite of data protection software. It
integrates a WorkGroup Edition of BakBone
NetVault Server, which includes a free
upgrade to a 500GB Virtual Tape Library;
CA
e
Trust Antivirus Software, and support
for third-party backup agents. Optional
Snap Enterprise Data Replicator software by
Adaptec provides advanced data
protection, movement, and management for
any business. Optional StorAssure Personal
Edition software by Adaptec provides
automated, easy-to-use, client backup for
desktop and laptop systems.
Centralized management
Simple installation and browser-based
management make Snap Servers ideal for
sites with little or no IT support staff. Snap
Server Manager software consolidates the
management of multiple units into a single
console.
