SCSI-SATA SCSI SATA RAID Storage Systems
High performance, Low-cost Low cost DAS optimized for clustering
Product Highlights
2U/3U rackmount with a cable-less design for higher reliability.
Supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and Tagged Command
Queuing (TCQ) for improved performance
Supports multiple LUN carving up to 64 LUNs per subsystem
Optimized for Clustering
- Improved application & data availability (servers and/or storage
are redundant)
- Higher performance (two servers can be load balanced for faster
response times)
Performance
- Up to 20,000 I/Os per second
- Up to 200MB/sec bandwidth
3 Year Warranty (Extensively tested products and high quality ISOapproved
manufacturing)
Key Advantages
Robust Data Protection
- Predictive Data Migration (PDM), PerfectRAID, Battery backup, Drive Roaming Metadata (DRM), Media Patrol
Industry Standards Compliance
- Management: WBEM, SNMP and XML
- Host interface: SCSI
- Architecture: Controller and backplane compliant with SATAII cabling and connector standard to ensure off the shelf interoperability
Compatibility
- Promise’s 80%+ market share in ATA RAID provides the foundation of extensive drive and OS compatibility
- Extensive qualification of third party SCSI HBAs/Controllers, switches and backup software
Modular architecture – The VTrak series of RAID storage systems share the same:
- Graphical user interface (GUI) –Same look and feel when configuring and managing the system
Freedom of Choice: Choose the capacity and brand of hard disk drives in your VTrak product
- End Users: Save money with drives that are suitable for your application. Upgradeable as your storage needs increase.
- System Integrators and Value-Added Resellers: Increase your margins by selecting drives purchased at the lowest cost.
Tested by leading HDD vendors for drive compatibility and reliability
