Présentation :
The Promise VTrak E-Class RAID subsystem with sixteen SATA drives delivers outstanding performance, reliability, and expansion for video and server applications. Sixteen 2TB 7200-rpm 3Gbps SATA drives in a 3U rack-optimized enclosure provide 32TB of raw capacity for assignment to one or more RAID sets supporting all the major RAID levels including hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6.
The high-availability design of the Promise VTrak E-Class RAID subsystem provides dual active/active RAID controllers with two 4Gb Fibre Channel ports and 2GB of cache per controller, redundant power supplies, and redundant cooling modules. An ideal storage solution for direct attached or SAN-based server and workstation applications, the Promise VTrak E-Class RAID subsystem is qualified with Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, Final Cut Studio 2, and Xsan 2.
The Promise VTrak E-Class RAID subsystem provides flexible configuration and can scale along with your business. You can start with a four drive configuration and scale the RAID subsystem with additional SATA drives, high performance SAS drives, or an expansion unit as your requirements change.
With large VTrak deployments worldwide, enterprise users have come to rely on Promise Technology to protect their valuable data. The Promise VTrak E-Class supports attachment of up to four J-Class expansion chassis, providing 80TB of raw capacity using 1TB SATA drives for high-capacity storage applications like tiered storage, disk-to-disk backup, or archive.
High-availability active/active RAID
This enterprise-class, cable-less system design includes fully redundant, hot-swappable controllers, power, and cooling units. All system components are constantly monitored to ensure continuous operation in case of failure or component malfunction. Dual active/active, failover/failback RAID controllers provide redundant data paths to help ensure availability.
4Gb Fibre Channel performance and reliability
Dual 4Gb Fibre Channel (FC) host interface ports per controller provide connectivity into widely deployed Fibre Channel storage networks, perfect for supplementing existing or building new storage networks.
Easy installation and management
The VTrak E-Class RAID subsystem features Bonjour discovery and configuration though an embedded browser-based management interface, WebPAM PROe, eliminating the need to install additional software. Simply open your browser and click on the VTrak unit you would like to manage. An easy-to-use guided setup allows novice users to create and provision the storage in just a few minutes. Yet, the VTrak's rich feature set gives advanced users powerful tools to rapidly deploy multiple units tuned for applications like Xsan 2 and Final Cut Studio 2.
