QUALITY AND RELIABILITY
• Redundant RAID controllers, fans and power supplies that are hot
swappable. (For highest 99.99% availability)
• Cache Protector uses capacitor technology to better protect RAID
controller cache during power outages. (Returns the array to high
performance mode within minutes following restore).
• Redundant Copy rebuilds a disk automatically as soon as the first signs
of failure appear. (Dramatically reduces recovery times and minimizes the
risk of permanent data loss during recovery).
• Data Block Guard appends check codes to every data block and verifies
them at multiple checkpoints. (Helps to ensure maximum data integrity on
disk, in cache and in between).
• RAID Migration enables LUNs to be moved dynamically between different
RAID groups and hard disks without interrupting operations. (Allows
different service levels to be provided, matched to access frequency
and data importance).
• Mixed SAS, Nearline SAS disk drives and SSD (Solid State Drives).
(Fulfills all main performance and capacity requirements as well as
handling different data needs).
• Mixed configuration with 3.5" and 2.5" disk enclosures for 2.5" base
models (Solid State Drives).
(Fulfills all main performance and capacity requirements).
• Eco-mode spins down disk drives. (Reduces energy consumption and
heat dissipation).
• Ability to replicate data between two storage systems. (Provides the
platform for local or remote Disaster Recovery (DR).
INNOVATION AND FLEXIBILITY
• Latest technologies and improved RAID Controller. (The highest flexibility).
• High-speed 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel host connections. (Fast access and
efficient data replication).
• 3.5": 15,000 rpm SAS, 7,200 rpm Nearline SAS drives, 2.5": 10,000 rpm
SAS drives. (Disk storage tailored to application and space requirements).
• 2.5" and 3.5": SSD (Solid State Drives). (For the most demanding data
access requirements).
• Storage-based replication via 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel and 8 snapshots
(standard) upgradeable to 1024. (For business continuity and improved
data protection).
EASE-OF-USE
• Intuitive web interface. (Easy to install and use).
• Storage management software ETERNUS SF Express is bundled.
(Simplifies storage operation and maintenance).
VERSATILITY AND INTEROPERABILITY
• A wide range of Operating Systems, servers and applications are
supported. (Versatility in use with databases, storage consolidation,
clustering, tiered storage, backup-to-disk and many other high value
storage functions). |
