ATTO Technology Inc. Diamond Storage Array Installation and Operation Manual
1.0 Diamond Storage Array Product Overview
The Diamond Storage Array offers up to 24 ATA disk drives in a rack mount or floor model
configuration.
The Diamond Storage Array is ideally suited for
data intensive applications such as web hosting, e-
mail servers, on-line transaction processing,
digital video editing, medical imaging and digital
audio editing. Virtually any high performance
computing system with a growing need for
storage capacity can use the power of the
Diamond Storage Array.
With the cost effective approach of using ATA
disk drives, you can add more storage capacity as
your needs grow without the budget-busting costs
of other disk storage technologies. You can also
improve the performance and capacity of the
Diamond Storage Array cabinet as technology
progresses by simply replacing disk drive sleds
and Host Interface Cards.
The Diamond Storage Array is operating system
independent and supports all popular computer
hardware platforms and network environments
with a 2-gigabit Fibre Channel interface or an
Ultra160 SCSI interface.
The Diamond Storage Array is a fully populated,
turnkey solution with drives pre-installed. It is
fully supported by highly trained customer
service and engineering staffs.
The Diamond Storage Array uses Aggregated
Data Transfer Technology (ADXT
J
) to merge
the performance of multiple ATA drives to
achieve sustained, full bandwidth data transfer
rates. ADXT provides end users with the power
and sophisticated data control needed to take
moderately priced ATA disk drives, combine
them in a disk storage array, and power them to
the performance levels of SCSI or Fibre Channel
disk arrays.
