Sans DigitalST-SAN-AR316IT - AR316IT RAID ISCSI 10G 3U 16-Bay 2 Port

The AccuRAID AR316IT is a 3U 16-bay quad channel (4x GbE) iSCSI to SAS/SATA RAID subsystem with redundant controller upgradeable option. With built-in 2x 10Gb Ethernet ports supporting independent access fail-over or load-balancing (802.3ad port trunking LACP) AR316IT is capable of composing a high performance SAN environment with a fraction of the cost of Fibre Channel RAID storage systems. Built-in redundant controller ready backplane allows non-destructive redundancy controller upgrade path without purchasing a brand new hardware. Supporting RAID 0 1 1+0 3 5 6 30 50 60 and JBOD with global or dedicated hot spare disks multiple hard drive failure could be protected without downtime or data loss.

The built-in powerful 64-bit RAID processor provides high performance through-put. The built-in Snapshot feature provides point-in-time copy of saved data without relying on the host software. Management is available via Web and Secure Web (HTTPS) SSH telnet or serial console with built-in event notification via e-mail or SNMP trap. Redundant power supplies cooling fans and controllers are part of the modularized design to allow redundancy as well as off-self spare parts to eliminate downtime. To increase the return of investment AR316IT supports both SAS and SATA drives and could be expanded by adding up to 3 additional SAS/SATA JBOD units providing solutions up to 64-bays or 128TB in total storage capacity. Intended to provide storage solution for IT and vitalization server computing with VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V or Citrix with SCSI-3 persistent target support the AR316IT is a perfect solution for Storage Area Network needs in IT and other applications.
