Infortrend EonStor A16F-G2430

Employing Infortrend´s custom ASIC400 with XOR engine, the ES A16F-G2430 is designed to satisfy the speed, capacity, and reliability demands of medium- to large-sized enterprises.
The subsystem combines the high performance, and scalability of 4Gbit/s Fibre host interfaces with the low cost and high capacity benefits of 3Gbit per second (3Gbps) Serial ATA (SATA) drive technology.

Reliability

The A16F-G2430 fully supports advanced, enterprise-class RAID features. Any logical drives, logical volumes, and logical partitions existing within the A16F-G2430 can be configured using any RAID level including RAID6, a proprietary extension of RAID5 that improves fault tolerance with the ability to handle the failure of any two drives in the array. The subsystem further guarantees data safety by supporting an optional battery backup unit (BBU) and the installation of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The BBU provides power to cache memory during a power failure, while the UPS extends the operating time for the entire subsystem if a power shortage occurs. Combined with Infortrend's seamless firmware features such as DrvSmart and SysSmart, the ES A16F-G2430 delivers reliable, consolidated storage for today's enterprise environments.
