Key
Benefits
Ease
of Use
The
SRF116 and SRF216 can be built to order and delivered
pre-configured to meet your storage requirements.
Further, the SRF116 and SRF216 are operating
system-independent therefore no host software is
required. The
SRF216 offers host-transparent
and host-independent failover/failback.
Both the SRF116 and SRF216 are available with
Distributed Array Management (DAM)
software for easy to use management.
High
Performance
The
SRF116 and SRF216 RAID controller delivers sustained
transfer rates over 97 MB/sec making the controllers excel
in
high-bandwidth environments such as video editing.
Built with a 233 MHz RISC
processor, hardware XOR, and support for
up to 256 MB of cache, the SRF116 and SRF216 are sure to
meet your performance requirements.
Scalability
The
SRF116 and SRF216 offer industry-leading scalability.
Adding an additional
six 16-drive JBODs allows an SRF system
to scale to 8 TB of storage in just 21U of
rack space.
High
Availability
The
SRF116 and SRF216 support RAID
levels 0, 1, 10, 3, 5, 30, 50, and JBOD.
Additional high-availability features include
online capacity expansion, online array
initialization, dedicated and pooled spares,
battery-backed ECC-protected cache, and hot-swap support
replacement of disk drives.
The SRF216 supports host-transparent
failover/failback and the cache data is fully mirrored
across both controllers to ensure
data integrity. The
SRF116/SRF216 enclosure comes standard with a backend Loop
Resiliency Circuit (LRC) allowing the user to configure
the enclosure with a single loop of 16 drives (applicable
when adding additional JBODs) or dual 16 drive loops,
therefore ensuring there is a redundant path to the disk
drives. The
enclosure also comes standard with redundant, auto-ranging
450 W power supplies.
Fault indicators are standard for power supplies,
temperature, drives, fan
modules, and controllers.
All Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), including power
supplies, fan modules, drives and RAID
controllers are hot-pluggable.
Lastly, the SRF116/SRF216 enclosure is the first in
its class to provide a fully redundant cooling
system capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 40º
C.
Management
Distributed
Array Management (DAM)
software allows the user to easily monitor
and configure the SRF116/SRF216.
Arrays can be configured and monitored using a
simple graphical representation.
DAMwatch is a monitoring service, included in the
DAM software that warns users of any errors with the RAID
arrays, disk drives, and/or enclosure components.
