Reliability
The RamSan-500 is designed to offer superior reliability to other solid-
state disks and RAID devices. Its standard features include Chipkill™-
protected RAM, hot-swap modular Flash memory, hot-swap power
supplies, failover ports, and SNMP compatibility. The nine-unit RAID
design ensures data integrity even in the event of the complete failure of
a single Flash module. In order to reduce the probability of a Flash module
failure, the unit incorporates multiple error-correcting methods.

System Management
Basic management operations, including manual shutdown and alerts, are
available from the front panel screen. Full monitoring and configuration
capabilities are available over any browser via a password protected Java
applet. The RamSan-500 also offers Telnet management capabilities and
is fully SNMP compatible.
