Dynamic Network Factory Leads Price Breakthrough in RAID Servers.HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 1998--Dynamic Network Factory, the U.S. product development subsidiary of the $1.5 billion ADO Inc., has today announced the introduction of its Enterprise Series, a line of RAID servers priced as low as $4999. With the high-quality superiority of today's leading RAID servers, as well as the innovative ease of Plug & Play, the Enterprise Series marks a significant price breakthrough for the RAID server market. By connecting to a host server via a SCSI connector There have been a large variety of SCSI connectors in use at one time or another in the computer industry. Probably no computer interconnect (with the possible exception of RS-232 serial) has caused as much confusion. and utilizing an onboard microprocessor, the Enterprise Disk Array gives your data the security and performance of hardware RAID. The Enterprise series also provides an effortless step-by-step setup program (1) Same as install program. (2) See BIOS setup. that avoids the complications of time-consuming operating procedures. The Enterprise Series offers a 66 GB and 100 GB RAID 0,1,5 and comes featured with a hot swap spare, independent fault isolation, and 512K SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. on each drive channel plus 128 MB EDO Edo: see Tokyo, Japan. on the RAID controller. Superior ECC (1) (Error-Correcting Code) A type of memory that corrects errors on the fly. See ECC memory. (2) (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. maintains maximum performance while correcting multiple error bursts, and the Enterprise Series utilizes an auto rebuild power supply with alarm, reset, and load sharing. Interface supports fast-wide, and ultra-wide 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. host channels, with a data transfer rate of up to 40MB provided. This series allows a hard disk to be used as a hot standby disk. When a hard disk error occurs on one of the RAID drives, this on-line hot spare disk automatically replaces the failed disk drive. "Hot swap" parts can also be removed and installed without interrupting data access while the Enterprise is on. These "hot swap" parts include the hard disk drives, redundant power supply units, and cooling fans. O/S independent and transparent, the Enterprise RAID server is compatible with all major operating systems, including Windows 95, Windows NT, Novell, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , and Mac. -0- Enterprise 6665 - 66 GB Raid Server list Price: $4995 Enterprise 10065 - 100 GB Raid Server list Price: $6495 -0- http://www.dynamicnetworkfactory.com Call 510/733-0103, 800/947-4742. |
