F5412E 4Gb FC-SAS/SATA RAID

 

The F5412E combines Fibre Channel connectivity with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) drive technology for cost effective, high performance storage solutions. It combines high performance connectivity, sophisticated storage management software, flexible interface support, and highly reliable storage devices to deliver a cost-effective, ultra-high performance OEM solution with the scalability and functionality necessary to meet the demands of today as well as tomorrow's rigorous applications environment. By leveraging the SAS full duplex, point-to-point architecture with dedicated connections, the F5412E delivers maximum data throughput, thereby providing faster, more responsive applications. In addition, the F5412E sustains maximum throughput (MB/s) for high bandwidth applications ranging from video editing to database-intensive online transaction processing.

Meanwhile, SATA-II drives in the F5412E provide the combination of high-capacity and cost-effective data storage normally found in nearline storage. Using SATA disks with their low cost-per-gigabyte design, the F5412E provides a cost-effective online repository for non-business-critical data, and offers the many advantages of tiered storage to the Small and Medium Business (SMB) market.

Features

  • Two or four 4Gb/s high speed Fibre Channel host connections per system
  • Mix up to 60 high performance SAS and cost effective SATA drives in one system
  • StorView management software provides maximum utilization
  • Dual active high availability and low cost single controller configurations
  • Host based dynamic multi-pathing for high availability

F5404E 4Gb FC-SAS/SATA-II RAID

Fueled by radical advances in digital video production, medical screening, CCTV surveillance, disk-to-disk backup and new requirements for securities compliance, the explosion in digital content creation continues unabated. The Xyratex F5404E was engineered to address these demands, combining 4Gb Fibre Channel (FC) RAID connectivity with Serial ATA II (SATA) disk drives, and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) expansion technology, offering affordable RAID data storage and high performance capabilities.The Xyratex F5404E provides the bandwidth needs for disk-to-disk backup, archive and other storage intensive applications, while leveraging SAS full duplex, point-to-point architecture with dedicated connections for maximum data throughput. There is also no single point of failure, with two RAID controllers per chassis and host-based dynamic multi-pathing to maintain continuous access to application data. Meanwhile, the F5404E has the lowest power consumption (50 percent more TB/KW), and highest density (33 percent more TB/ft2) of any nearline storage RAID system on the market. Xyratex StorView software configures and administers the F5404E storage system.

Features

  • RAID 1, 5, 6, 10 & 50 support
  • Snapshot support for up to 192 snaps
  • Four (4) 4Gb/s high speed Fibre Channel host connections per system
  • Up to 48 high performance cost effective SATA drives in one system
  • StorView controller based or host based management software
  • Online capacity growth through dynamic array and LUN expansion
  • Cableless, modular design and redundant, hot- swappable components for fault tolerance
  • Customizable fascia, SCSI Inquiry Strings, management interface, multi-path manager

StorView Software

StorView is Xyratex's premier storage management software for maximizing storage utilization and minimizing IT administration of Xyratex RAID storage.

Designed to provide ease of use management and flexible configuration, StorView enables businesses to increase their overall return on investment by:

  • Improving storage utilization
  • Minimizing storage management administration
  • Planning for capacity and performance
  • Easy diagnosis of RAID problems

A debug capture feature collects RAID state information and packages it up for transmission and diagnosis by certified technicians for easy problem determination. Dynamic provisioning offers the ability to expand an array or logical drive without experiencing downtime. The SAN LUN Mapping feature simplifies mapping a LUN to a host, shows hosts and storage physical connections graphically and provides easy reconfiguration as storage environments change. The graphical interface and consolidated toolbar deliver easy navigation and physical views of arrays, LUNs, servers, host connections and their configuration. StorView requires minimal storage experience to start configuring, monitoring, and managing Xyratex RAID.
