Des Moines (pronounced /dɪˈmɔɪn/ in English, -- ARAID 2000 Keeps Identical Copies of Data on Two Sata Drives Providing Full Data Availability If One Drive Fails Accordance Systems today announced that their new ARAID 2000 is shipping. ARAID 2000 is an easily installable Serial ATA (SATA) RAID storage solution for businesses and individuals concerned with data security and availability. Compatible with popular operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc), the ARAID 2000 automatically mirrors data onto a second drive ensuring that data is protected in case one drive dies or gets corrupted. Because the RAID intelligence is built into the ARAID 2000 design, no additional controller boards or drivers are required to use the device. Not only can users enjoy the high performance and reliability of SATA, they are protecting data at a reduced cost compared to other RAID strategies. Each unit supports drive hot-swapping, LCD status display, independent locking drive trays, audible warning alarms, and forced air cooling. The RAID architecture utilizes Accordance ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. technology that performs RAID services in hardware with less than 3% CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. overhead. To ensure maximum security, a drive can be easily removed from the ARAID 2000 unit and stored in a secure location for backup with no service or data interruption. "Users and IT managers no longer have to worry about someone walking off with important data, or a hard drive crashing, destroying irreplaceable data," said Steve Johnson, President of Accordance Systems. "The ARAID 2000 is the perfect data availability solution for small to medium size businesses and office networks with a need for business continuity. It's a simple, versatile data storage workhorse." For larger business and enterprise users, the ARAID 2000 can be easily managed via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. protocol communicating to popular network management systems like Tivoli and HP OpenView, as well as Accordance's recently announced OpManager. Accordance Systems is the first company to support SNMP software for this class of device in its line of RAID products.
