Digi-Data Announces the T-3000 Controller

Digi-Data announces the T-3000 Controller, a 4 Gb fibre channel RAID disk system. Designed to provide enterprise-level performance at midrange pricing, the T-3000 provides a suite of easy-to-use integrated software utilities. The T-3000 simplifies storage for a range of applications, from enterprise database to video editing.

The T-3000 family offers fibre channel or SATA disk drives, and can be configured with 4 Gb fibre channel, iSCSI or a mix of both to address storage and disaster recovery configurations. It is a versatile building block that spans from entry level storage networking to high performance access to hundreds of terabytes of storage.

The T-3000 offers up to 1.6 GB/s host and disk bandwidth and RAID6 dedicated parity engines. The T-3000 package comes with one or two controllers, full 4 Gb fibre (host side and disk side) and up to 240 drives, using expansion chassis (T-3000exp).

For companies that may require less storage capacity, but still have the need for a solid set of storage management software utilities, the T-3000 family includes two additional choices that provide up to 11.25 TB (raw) capacity with 750 GB SATA drives:
- T-3000L – the "lite" version offers a 2 Gb fibre channel interface
- T-3000i – an iSCSI interface into this versatile storage system.
