Enterprise™ F16 Serial ATA to Fibre Channel RAID series are intelligent and innovative storage subsystems for mission critical and high bandwidth applications. Purpose-built for high volume, fail-safe data storage applications, the Enterprise F16 Serial ATA RAID sets new standards in its class. It features a backplane design for sixteen hot-swappable Serial ATA disk drives, N+1 load sharing power supplies with PFC, pure Aluminum case & components, and specially designed airflow passages.
RAID Functionality
Enterprise F16 Serial ATA RAID is equipped with a Serial ATA-to-2Gb Dual Loop Optical SFP LC Fibre Channel RAID controller to offer fault-tolerant data protection. It is 100% transparent to the host operating system and requires no custom drivers. It is a full featured data protection subsystem supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5, and JBOD. It is the ideal storage solution for applications requiring high data throughput, availability, and flexibility in configuration.
Serial ATA Features
Serial ATA's point-to-point signaling provides full bandwidth to each connected device, hot plug capability, smaller connectors, standardized connector placement and layout, simpler cabling and longer cable lengths. The cost advantages and performance of Serial ATA can make it a compelling alternative to other technologies.
Environmental Features
System reliability of the Enterprise F16 Serial ATA RAID is ensured by an environmental monitoring unit. The environmental monitoring unit monitors the internal environment of the disk enclosure such as power supplies, temperature, voltage and cooling fans. It not only tracks the enclosure temperature, but also monitors individual disk temperatures as well. If any irregularity in these systems occurs, the monitoring unit alerts the administrator with an audible alarm, by fax and pager.
User Interface
All major components including drives, power supplies and fans are redundant and removable for easy serviceability. The Enterprise F16 Serial ATA RAID features an easy-to-read menu-driven LCD display of array/drive status and array configuration commands. It comes with fault and activity LEDs, Up, Select, Down and Exit buttons for easy operation.
Design Features
Enterprise F16 Serial ATA RAID subsystems come with 16 hot-swappable Serial ATA disk drives and trays. Reliability is insured with load sharing hot swappable triple redundant (N+1) 300 Watt power supplies with PFC. The Enterprise F16 Serial ATA RAID's scalable design makes expansion easy when storage needs increase. It is the ideal storage solution for applications requiring high data throughput, availability, and flexibility in configuration.
