4Gb Fibre Channel SAN to SAS/SATA RAID System with Redundant Controllers and SAS JBOD Expansion
High Availability
Promise VTrak E-Class is a family of intelligent, dual controller, SAS/SATA
based storage arrays that fundamentally changes storage economics from
purchase and set up to operation and upgrades. Two 4Gb Fibre Channel SAN
host interface ports per controller provide a reliable, high-performance SAN
based storage. Each standard 3U, 19" rack unit supports up to 16
off-the-shelf 3.5" SAS or SATA 3Gb/s drives. Attach up to four SAS JBODs to
deliver 80 drive bays of direct attached storage.
4G Fibre Channel
Performance and Reliability
SAN technology has revolutionized the way data moves throughout the
enterprise. VTrak E-Class joins this revolution by exceeding the performance
and bandwidth requirements of even the most data intensive applications.
Fibre channel's flexible, mature technology and wide interoperability makes
it the first choice for mission critical applications.
No Single Point of
Failure
This enterprise-class, cable-less system design includes fully redundant,
hot-swappable controllers, power and cooling units. All system components
are constantly monitored using industry standard protocols to ensure
continuous operation in case of failure or component malfunction. Dual
active-active, failover/failback RAID controllers provide redundant data
paths to further help ensure availability.
RAID 6
RAID 6 (double parity) delivers the highest level of reliability and data
protection in a cost-effective solution. As the capacity of storage arrays
increases, so does the risk of encountering unrecoverable read errors with
single parity RAID levels. RAID 6 can handle double-drive failures, thereby
providing greater protection against data loss. This also dramatically
reduces the risk of catastrophic data loss during RAID rebuilds.
Easy to install and
manage
The VTrak line features Promise's embedded browser-based management
interface, WebPAM PROe, eliminating the need to install additional software.
All VTrak systems on the network can be configured and monitored using a
single, easy-to-manage interface through an out-of-band Ethernet port. By
using industry-standard management protocols, Promise simplifies integration
with third-party management applications.
Service
and Support
Every VTrak is backed by the Promise 3-Year limited warranty with 24/7
telephone and email support (Americas & EMEA). When our support confirms a
failure in the field, advanced replacement parts are always available to
eliminate down time.
