SANbloc 2Gb RAID
Innovative Modular Architecture
The SANbloc RAID is part of a family of network storage storage solutions, based
on an advanced Flexible Storage Architecture (FSA). A modular, state-of-the
art design, FSA enables users to quickly and cost-effectively optimize individual
storage solutions to their changing needs, applications, and network environments
by adding component "building blocks." The result is a truly universal
solution for enterprises seeking flexible storage systems that address current
and future needs, as well as unexpected changes.
Comprehensive Storage Management and High Availability Software
Spheras Storage Director enables easy local or remote management of SANbloc
solutions in heterogeneous, network-centric computing environments. An intuitive
console user interface allows administrators to centrally monitor and tune all
storage resources across the network as well as configure the system to meet
server and applications goals. A comprehensive suite of notification utilities
alert administrators to system irregularities. Spheras PATHpilot high availability
software provides failover, keeping applications running through fault detection,
automatic path failover and I/O rerouting, and ensuring availability of critical
information resources. In the event of a path failure, PATHpilot automatically
redirects I/O to a redundant path without interrupting data transfer. Balancing
I/O over multiple paths enhances resource utilization and data throughput.
Worldwide Service and Interoperability Testing
Adaptec helps ensure the performance and availability of your storage network
through our Globalrespond support program. Adaptec offers a complete range of
support services – from 24x7 telephone assistance to on-site maintenance
– enabling you to tailor a program to meet your needs. Adaptec also works
closely with leading manufacturers, testing a variety of storage network technologies
and products to ensure seamless interoperability for complete SAN configurations.
