VRA-3002R-XX-Y

This system is similar to the VRA-3002T-XX-Y and is used for expandable storage. Each
shelf  has a measurement of 3 U and may easily be integrated into a standard 19” rackmount
system. The system is made up of twin shelves, 13 storage bays, a single host connection and
one RAID controller. Figure 1-6 shows two hosts connected to two VRA-3002R-XX-Y
systems. In this and the previous case the hosts are completely separate entities and do not
share the data in any way.
