ICP Vertex to Continues To RAID The Controller World.RAID controller manufacturer ICP (1) (Internet Cache Protocol) A protocol used by one proxy server to query another for a cached Web page without having to go to the Internet to retrieve it. See CARP and proxy server. Vortex is now shipping 64-Bit PCI- Wide/Ultra 160 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. RAID Controllers with clustering support. These controllers join ICP's RN series, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 4, 5, and 10. The ICP GDT7523 RN, GDT7543RN, and GDT7563RN models offer two, four, or six Ultra 16O channels and support data transfer rates of 160MB/sec per channel with up to 15 devices attached to each channel on cables up to 12 meters in length. They feature 64-Bit architecture for data transfer rates, including a 64-Bit PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). interface clocked at 33MHz with burst rates at 264MB/sec, as well as an onboard 64-Bit bus for throughput and an Intel i960RN RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. 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. for I/O operations. In benchmark tests against 64-Bit hardware RAID controllers using the StrongArm processor, the RAID controllers performed 12%-200% faster during reads and writes, respectively, in a RAID environment and 7%-24% faster in a RAID) 5 environment. Together with ICP's onboard real time multitasking firmware, RAIDYNE, these controllers provide performance and fault tolerance. There is also a hardware XOR engine for RAID 4/5 operations. The company's controllers can run in 32-Bit and 64-Bit PCI slots. The controllers are PCI 2.2 compliant with bus mastering capabilities. |
