Overview
Effectively managing your storage requires the consideration of many factors, including cost per GB, performance, high availability, ease of management, and even the amount of space required to house the equipment. Your users expect reliability and speed in accessing their applications and data, and your company expects you to make the most out of its space and investment. The SANnet II Blade delivers on all of these aspects, and more.

The SANnet II Blade is an ultra-slim, rack-mountable storage array with a RAID controller and four hot-swappable Ultra3 SCSI disk drives. The SANnet II Blade provides over a half terabyte of storage in a rack-mountable 1U form factor. It is a superb solution if you have limited space and require high performance.

Superior Value
Built with Dot Hill's OpenAxis Intelligence, SANnet II easily integrates into diverse network environments and is compatible with most of today's popular server platforms including Windows, Linux and all flavors of Unix.

The initial set-up is simple because SANnet II is factory configured. Just install the host adapter, attach a SCSI cable, power on the system and you're done! And, because it directly connects to open systems servers without network switches - it reduces complexity and cost.

Flexible and Scalable
SANnet II supports 36, 73, and 146GB drives with 10,000 or 15,000 RPM speeds. Easily scale storage capacity by adding disks and enclosures as needed. Start with 72GB and grow to 584GB in just 1.75 inches of rack space. Need more? Add up to 8 additional drives for a capacity up to 1.75TB.

World-class Performance
With two Ultra3 SCSI host connections, SANnet II provides sustained data transfer rates up to 100MB per second and up to 20,000 I/Os per second. This speed, combined with the load-balancing capabilities of Dot Hill's SANpath software, delivers unmatched performance and data availability.

Reliable and Serviceable
Continuous access to information is essential to your business. SANnet II is independently certified to NEBS Level 3 and MIL-SPEC-810F standards - providing you with "carrier-class" reliability. Your data is safe with the highest uptime offered in today's marketplace at 99.9998+% - that's less than 40 seconds of downtime a year.

SANnet II offers high availability for your critical applications by providing 100% redundant components and hot-swappable components.
