4U Infortrend 4G FC to SATAII 24 bay RAID Subsystem
Infortrend A24F-R2430 4U FC to SATA-II RAID subsystem 24 Bay
The
A24F-R2430 SAN-ready subsystem combines the cost-effective SATA drives in a high
availability 4G FC array. IT managers will find it is an easy-to-use and easy to
maintain storage solution for their DAS, Fibre Channel SAN and clustered servers
or any application requiring dedicated bandwidth
In addition to outstanding
performance and dependability, the EonStor SATA line offers improvements in
ergonomics and ease of use and provides compelling, cost-effective,
state-of-the-art networked storage solutions.
Typical
use

software
Infortrend
Smart Technologies
Derived
from a decade of experience in RAID storage design, Infortrend's innovative
firmware delivers Smart technologies that provide enhanced storage solutions for
every customer environment, from small organizations to large enterprises. These
technologies enhance I/O processing, drive handling, and system management.
IOSmart
IOSmart
allows for the flexible configuration of logical drives, logical volumes and
logical partitions and ensures instant RAID availability via background logical
drive initialization. Fibre loops' load balancing is provided within the
subsystem. The firmware' s Adaptive Write Policy and Guaranteed Latency I/O
algorithms improve write performance and ensure fast and continuous data flow.
DrvSmart
The
DrvSmart utilities manage disk drive defects and help ensure data integrity. One
of the main DrvSmart functions, Media Scan, retrieves data from degraded or
damaged hard drives and handles low quality drives in both the degraded mode and
during the rebuild process. Other DrvSmart features include disk cloning, drive
roaming, SMART, transparent resetting of non-responsive hard drives, RAID parity
update tracking and recovery.
SysSmart
SysSmart
combines enclosure monitoring and firmware management capabilities in order to
minimize the chance of down time caused by hardware failures. The SysSmart
functions include the event-triggered cache flush and the various monitoring
approaches combined with the powerful RAIDWatch manager. Component status,
voltage and temperature readings, and system events are instantly revealed
through the manager's graphical interface.
