640RFC Series - 12 Bay, 4 Gbit/sec. Fibre to SATA II Rack
Mount RAID featuring the AMCC PPC440SP 64 Bit RISC processor. Available
with 6.0 - 12.0 TB of Enterprise Grade storage.
MacRAID's Fibre
to Serial ATA RAID storage solutions are designed specifically to
fit anywhere from the smaller work group and single work station all
the way up to the performance driven large server environment.
These ultra reliable,
high performance RAID subsystems are available at a significantly
reduced cost due to their use of inexpensive Serial ATA drives. With
a capacity of up to 16 TB these 4 Gbit/sec. Fibre devices suit a highly
versatile range of applications.
By connecting
to your Mac O/S X server or Fibre switch via an SFP transceiver and
utilizing an onboard microprocessor, the MacRAID™ RAID storage
solutions give your data the security and performance of hardware
RAID, yet the cost effectiveness of Serial ATA.
Today's SATA
II technology has increased the burst transfer rate to 3 Gbit/sec.,
providing the highest levels of disk throughput and enhancing data
integrity as well. The Serial ATA II drives even outperform SCSI drives
at a fraction of the cost. Ask yourself, "Why Pay More To Get
The Same?"
Extreme
User Friendliness is our advantage.
As opposed to
conventional disk arrays that usually require experienced specialists
to deal with complicated and time consuming setup procedures, all
MacRAID™ RAID storage solutions feature a revolutionary new concept:
Innovative
Plug and Play RAID
As compared to
the conventional disk array’s long and tedious setup procedures,
your new MacRAID™ storage solution can be ready to initialize
in just a few minutes, by using its simple, step by step, built-in
setup program. Hooking up your MacRAID™ fiber channel storage
system to your O/S X server is simple and painless.
Powerful
Performance Without Compromise
Your MacRAID™
fiber channel raid array is designed to enhance your capability and
productivity by offering advanced performance and state-of-the-art
features in a high quality, modular and compact disk array subsystem,
that is also one of the fastest systems on the market. Just check
out some of the unique features:
- Independent
Fault Isolation:
Each
hard drive is on a separate data channel – if a drive fails,
it won’t affect or corrupt data on another drive.
- Fault Tolerance:
Allows
the disk array to continue functioning, even when one* of the hard
disks has failed.
*(Two disks can fail simultaneously with no data loss if the hot-spare
function or RAID level 6 is enabled)
- Auto Rebuild:
When a replacement disk has been installed, your MacRAID™ Fibre
channel raid provides automatic data rebuild without the need for
any commands or functions to be keyed in. (Transparent to Host)
- Operating
Status:
A LCD status panel displays a comprehensive readout of the operating
status and the HDD LED indicators on each hard disk tray display
the status of the individual hard disk.
- GUI and
Event Notification:
You'll always know what's going on with your MacRAID™ fiber
channel raid array, because we've embedded an Ethernet Connection
with a web browser based RAID management GUI for configuration and
status monitoring. This GUI allows you to receive notifications
of the status of your RAID array via a built-in buzzer, email or
SNMP.
- Hot Spare
Feature:
A hard disk can be used as a hot standby disk. When a hard disk
error occurs on one of the RAID drives, this on-line hot spare disk
will automatically replace the failed hard disk drive.
- Hot Swap
Feature:
You can remove and install the hot swap parts without interrupting
data access while your MacRAID™ RAID storage solution is on.
These hot swap parts include the hard disks, redundant power supply
units and cooling fans.
- Ultra High
Speed:
Interface support for 1 Gbit/sec., 2 Gbit/sec. and 4 Gbit/sec. Fibre,
with up to 4 Gbit/sec. data transfer rate.
- Power Supplies:
Redundant and load sharing dual or triple power supplies.
- Operating
Systems:
Operating system independent and transparent. Certified for all
major operating systems, including Mac O/S X, Linux, Novell, UNIX,
SGI, SUN, HP, IBM and Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/2003/XP.
- Hard Disk
Compatibility:
Compatible with most SATA drives with capacities ranging from 500
GB to 1 TB. Certified for Seagate, IBM/Hitachi, Maxtor, Western
Digital and Fujitsu.
