Features
The imageRAID Series Storage Systems are designed for mission critical applications
requiring the highest performance with uncompromised data reliability, such as
mid-range and enterprise server storage, while maintaining exceptionally high
throughput. The storage system is ideally suited for high bandwidth data intensive
applications, such as electronic commerce, digital video, CAD, seismic research,
digital pre-press, 3-D imaging, and SAN environments.
The following are major features of the imageRAID Series Storage Systems:
■
2 Gb Fibre Channel-to-Fibre Channel storage system enclosure.
■
Hot pluggable disk drives, 12 per enclosure.
■
Hot pluggable cooling fan module and power supplies.
■
SES Enclosure management includes onboard environmental monitoring.
■
Designed to fit standard 19-inch rack enclosures and a deskside tower.
■
Front panel LEDs provide notifications of system component status, and
logical and physical drive status.
■
Support for 16 drives per array and 64 arrays.
■
RAID Controller uses an Intel XScale 600MHz RISC processor.
■
Transparent failover/failback RAID Controllers in duplex operations.
■
On-board controller-to-host LUN mapping.
■
Mirrored Cache for write-through and write-back operations with a “Save
to Disk” feature for unlimited backup protection.
■
Operating system independence – no special software or drivers required.
■
Dual 2 Gb/sec (gigabit per second) Fibre Channel ports. Fabric ports are
optimized with full duplex operations and auto-negotiate features.
■
Dual 2 Gb/sec disk side ports for high performance, failure resilient paths
to the drives. Full duplex operations optimize disk channels.
■
Capable of sustaining 350 MB/sec sequential RAID 5 reads and up to
100,000 IOPs in active-active configurations.
■
The base controller installed in the imageRAID has 512 MB cache memory
and a total of 1 GB cache memory for the coprocessor models. The
memory is standard PC-100 compatible SDRAM.
■
Support for up to 512 Host LUNs.
