Adtron Corp. Announces High Capacity Hard Disk-Based SCSI Storage Subsystem on a Single Slot CompactPCI 6U Plug-In Card.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2002 Adtron Corp. introduces the highest capacity hard disk storage subsystem The part of a computer system that provides the storage. It includes the controller and disk drives. See storage system. available on a single slot cPCI 6U plug-in card. The card provides direct attached storage for real-time applications, including factory automation, test and measurement, and control system computing platforms operating in environments that permit the use of hard disk drives. Product model SC6H integrates a SCSI controller A common term for a SCSI host adapter. See SCSI. SCSI controller - SCSI adaptor with boot BIOS ROM and up to 120 GBytes of hard disk storage on a single cPCI card. "Adtron developed the SC6H specifically to meet the capacity requirements and cost sensitivity of commercial cPCI applications. This model combines two low-cost standard IDE hard disk drives into one SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. logical unit to deliver high capacity and to take advantage of the SCSI storage support built into real-time operating systems. "This approach makes it very easy to install, update and maintain a cPCI-based storage subsystem," said Alan Fitzgerald For the Australian writer, satirist and journalist, see: Alan Fitzgerald (satirist) Alan Fitzgerald, U.S. musician (both a bassist and a keyboardist), was a member of several U.S. bands. , president of Adtron. The SC6H SCSI-based subsystem may be configured for operation either through the cPCI bus using the onboard SCSI controller with boot BIOS ROM, or through the system SCSI host via J5 as an ultra-wide LVD See LVDS. LVD - Low Voltage Differential or SE SCSI peripheral. Simple installation and single slot size eliminates external drive mounting brackets and cabling, thereby increasing overall system integrity. The SC6H is one of several unique storage products in a family of 6U cPCI single slot storage subsystems. Other members include dual, hot swappable See hot swap. mirrored hard disks in the SC6M model, and high durability and reliability storage with the SC6F model, which provides up to 8 GBytes of fixed flash storage and one Type III Type III may stand for:
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and pricing for an 80 GByte system is $1,200. Lead time is stock to eight weeks ARO. For additional information, contact Adtron Sales at 602/735-0300 or via e-mail at sales@adtron.com. Through the philosophy of Managed Reliability Technology, Adtron delivers a complete spectrum of storage system solutions to directly meet application specific requirements for availability, reliability and durability. Entry-level products offer the reliability and high capacity of a hard disk drive subsystem. Offering significantly increased reliability, the next product level implements dual hard disks in a redundant mirrored, hot swappable configuration that permits the computer system to continue operating with one disk failure. The onboard IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) A protocol for monitoring server hardware for temperature, voltage, chassis intrusion, etc. Introduced in 1998 by Intel, HP, NEC and Dell, IPMI defines a standard set of messages for the characteristics of hardware function notifies the network controller of a failing drive which can be replaced and rebuilt without system interruption. At the top end of the product range is Adtron's solid-state flash storage systems developed specifically to ensure mission critical performance and nonstop operation without user intervention. Flash media offers the longest life and highest durability of any storage technology media available today. Adtron designs and manufactures electronic data storage systems tailored to OEM requirements for optimum reliability, durability and availability. Adtron integrates flash memory or disk storage media into configurations that match application specific form, fit and function. This flexibility solves problems associated with integrating traditional disk and tape drives into commercial, industrial and military computer systems. Solid-state flash-based storage products emulate disk and tape drive functions, providing extreme durability and reliability in harsh environments. Disk-based storage products provide long-term availability, thereby eliminating requalification, last time buys and inventory management costs. The Adtron Quality System is ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9001 registered. You can find more information about Adtron at the www.adtron.com Web site. |
