The ALR Rack-Mountable Revolution Dual6 server drawers can be equipped with a variety of popular server accessories. To improve data storage and fault tolerance, ALR features a total of nine storage bays which include one 3.5-inch drive bay, two 5.25-inch drive bays, and six 3.5-inch ALR "hot swappable" bays for optional RAID 5 storage. Additional storage drawers are also available which come standard with redundant power supplies for extended reliability and fault tolerance. ALR's Rack-Mountable Revolution technology provides MIS managers and administrators with the following significant benefits which include: Centralization - Allows users to centralize multiple servers, UPSs, and storage options in a single, space-saving location. Organization - Gives users the ability to stack multiple servers with accompanying cable management, making rack-mount server environments clean and orderly. Ease of Service and Maintenance - System components can be quickly serviced since the slide-out drawers are easily accessible through the product's built-in slide rails and front/rear door access. ALR InforManager Server Management System Provides Round-the- Clock Monitoring To optimize network server system uptime, the Rack-Mountable Dual6 offers a number of pre-configured server hardware management features through the company's own ALR InforManager embedded system board monitoring system. An array of integrated sensors monitors key environmental information such as system and processor temperatures, fan operation, system voltage, memory faults, and chassis security via operating system applets such as software monitoring under Windows NT and Novell NetWare. Displaying up-to-the-minute status, the ALR InforManager gives network managers the opportunity to adjust system problems before they lead to costly server downtime and component damage. In addition, ALR's Rack-Mountable Server Series monitors additional rack options such as storage or DAT (1) (Dynamic Address Translator) A hardware circuit that converts a virtual memory address into a real address.
