RAID Lite Disk Arrays
RAID Lite Features and Benefits
RAID Lite is the first of a new generation of RAID arrays for small UNIX
network or desktop users, with a scalable design to service the growing I/O
demands of your network. Incorporating a powerful RISC CPU and Fast-Wide SCSI
processors, RAID Lite is a
high-performance solution offered at an affordable price.
Until now, storing critical data on a fault tolerant disk array was the
exclusive domain of large network servers. RAID Lite is designed to bring the
benefits of RAID performance and fault tolerance within the reach of the
power desktop user. Equipped with a powerful 40MHz i960 RISC processor and up
to 32MB of cache memory, RAID Lite has
the capability to efficiently service I/O between the industry's fastest
RISC-based CPUs and disk drives. Scalable from desktop to data center, RAID
Lite supports as many as 35 drives, with RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 6 for up to
150.5GB of on-line storage capacity.
- Advanced 32-bit Version of Industry Standard SCSI Processors support Wide SCSI interface disk drives.
- Powerful Intel i960 RISC Microprocessor provides the MIPS needed to service I/O between the industry's fastest RISC-based CPUs and disk drives.
- Up to 32MB of Standard SIMM Cache Memory provides lightning quick response to read and write requests.
- The Industry's Fastest 7200 RPM Disk Drives speed up disk access time.
- Fast-Wide Single-Ended or Fast-Wide Differential SCSI Host Ports for wide connectivity across UNIX platforms.
- Redundant Load Sharing Power Supplies ensure a source of continuous power.
- Battery Backup protects data in cache during power or system failures.
- Automatic Rebuild of hot spare disk drives enable RAID Lite to repair itself.
- User Definable Rebuild Priority to suit your specific need for fault tolerance versus I/O performance.
- User Replaceable Disk Modules and Power Supplies enable self maintenance.
- Three User Interfaces (front panel, controller-based monitor utility and host-based RMU software) provide the right RAID management tools for the operator, service engineer and data center manager.
- Client/Server RAID Management Utility, RMU Lite, for remote monitoring and control across the network.
- User Friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for point, click and drag RAID management.
- As Many as 35 Drives for a massive capacity of up to 150.5GB.
- Modular Enclosures for environments ranging from desktop to data center.
- RAID Levels 0, 1, 5 and 6 to suit the specific needs of a variety of applications.
