| Xyratex Launches Native SAS RAID Solution Xyratex has announced that the E5402E 3Gb SAS – SAS/SATA RAID system is now shipping. Designed with the small and medium-sized business markets in mind, the 2U 12 drive E5402E provides end-users with high performance, system flexibility and simplified management and integration. Enhanced for direct attached or fabric environments, this highly cost-efficient solution delivers expanded scalability that utilizes both high-performance SAS and high-capacity SATA disk drives within a single enclosure. The combination of these features supports business continuity and ensures users benefit from a high degree of investment protection. The E5402E solution also features Xyratex's StorView, a web-based management tool that gives network administrators clear visibility and ultimate control over the storage system. Xyratex's entire family of 5000 series 4G RAID controllers feature several high-availability options, including RAID 6 and Snapshot, as well as the SNIA SMI-S 1.1 certified standard interoperability configuration interface. This interface enables Xyratex RAID controllers to be managed by other management tools that support SMI-S. This industry standard encompasses the E5402E as well as the F5402E, which remains the industry's first fully available storage system to offer an integrated 4Gb RAID system with FC connectivity and SAS/SATA drives. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
