FirewireDirect: New 2Gb Fibre Channel RAID Storage Solutions.FirewireDirect.com Inc. has announced an enterprise level 2Gb Fibre Channel RAID solution. For demanding enterprise applications, professional digital content creation The development of newsworthy, educational and entertainment material for distribution over the Internet or other electronic media. See DAMS. applications, and ideal for Storage Area Networks (SAN), the new Vanguard Ultra Elite Fibre System will support any platform with Fibre storage support and can deliver blistering 200 MB/s dual loop fibre throughputs in a space efficient 3U rackmount system. Boasting 512 megabytes of high-speed cache and a high-speed IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) RISC processor RISC processor [Reduced Instruction Set Computer], computer arithmetic-logic unit that uses a minimal instruction set, emphasizing the instructions used most often and optimizing them for the fastest possible execution. for high throughputs across up to 12 hard drive mechanisms, it supports large drives, currently up to 250GB, to provide up to 3 TeraBytes of storage, and RAID Levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 0+ 1 and 3 and 5 with hot spares. It can be configured to maximize performance by allowing data to be stored using the most efficient RAID type. Volumes can be created to support RAID 1 for maximum redundancy, RAID 3 for large sequential data files, RAID 5 for high performance transaction processing Updating the appropriate database records as soon as a transaction (order, payment, etc.) is entered into the computer. It may also imply that confirmations are sent at the same time. Transaction processing systems are the backbone of an organization because they update constantly. of smaller files and RAID 0 for non- redundant workspace. In addition to this extremely high performance, the Vanguard Ultra Elite offers the security of hot swappable See hot swap. redundant power supplies and fans and supports automatic rebuilding for an array in the event of a hard disk failure. Rebuilding is transparent and does not restrict access to your data. In the unlikely event of a hardware failure, the system can continue to operate at full performance with no down time. Features include: - 12 hot swappable drive bays, fan modules, redundant power supply units, and support for redundant power feeds - Completely configuration from the front panel with operation information on array(s) state, cache usage, channel state and speed, logical drive configuration data and channel assignment, individual drive state, voltages and temperatures - Powerful security and backup features - Rock solid construction featuring a suspended hard drive tray design that reduces disk vibration, enhancing stability and extending life span - An awesome Return On Investment (ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ), with cross platform support and a low cost per GigaByte traditionally unknown in Fibre products of this class It is supported on any Fibre storage supporting system including Windows 2000, XP, Mac OSX See Mac OS X. 10.2 and later, and some Linux distributions. |
