ARIO's New Capacity Storage Array Family of Storage Solutions

ARIO Data Networks has unveiled the first products in its new Capacity Storage Array family of SATA- and SAS-based network storage solutions. With this family, ARIO introduces StorBlade, the unique concept of enabling disk storage to be easily managed and scaled with a single enclosure. Capable of storing 26 TB, the Capacity Storage Array family leads the market for the highest capacity and density footprint for a single enclosure array. ARIO leverages expertise from its SANARIO RAID controllers and JBOD SATA/SAS connectivity products to offer its customers affordable, high capacity, high performance RAID-protected storage solutions.

The CSA family of products offers a unique design to greatly improve the manageability and flexibility of the storage system. Each ARIO StorBlade can support up to 4 drive carriers, providing high-density storage configurations. Unlike with other storage systems, ARIO's CSA Family array allows access to the blades and hence, disks from the front of the rack, without having to power-down the system or dismantling the enclosure.

Additionally, each StorBlade is serviceable down to the individual disk drive level, powered by ARIO's SafeBlade software, enabled on the embedded SANARIO RAID controller. The CSA family leverages the SANARIO RAID controllers to offer enterprise-level performance, utilizing the latest interface connectivity and high availability option, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.
