Overview
Fibrenetix new VP-1252FC combines high performance dual 2Gbit host connections with cost-effective SATA drive technology to provide outstanding performance and reliability.

Exclusive to Fibrenetix, the VP Series features unique embedded RAID management, Email and SNMP support via onboard Ethernet connection.

The VP-1252FC offers a massive 4 Terabytes of RAID-6 protected storage in a compact 12-bay, 2U rackmount enclosure. The high-speed RAID-6 functionality offers all the benefits of RAID-5, with the added safety of dual parity data. This means two simultaneous drive failures can be sustained without any loss of data, offering the ultimate in fault tolerance.

The VP-1252FC offers a cost effective, high performance, scalable solution for the midrange storage market.
