SKplus AR1600 Series
The SKplus AR1600F and the SKplus AR1600U single
RAID contoller subsystems are the latest in Infortrends highly
acclaimed line of SATA RAID products.
The SKplus subsystem combines either 2 Gbit/s Fibre (AR1600F)
or Ultra160 SCSI (AR1600U) host channels with 16 SATA drives
in a single subsystem. This provides users with massive storage
capacity in a safe subsystem environment where a high level
of data availability is assured. |
 |
The SATA models are able to use up to 16 SATA drives in the subsystem.
The availabilty of a seperate dongle kit enables a user to install
a PATA drive into the subsystem providing a less expensive option
for an economic yet reliable RAID Subsystem.
Architecture
Running on architecture trusted by the most demanding applications,
the subsystem is capable of a high level of performance. Its 64-bit
seperate-bus backbone is built around the dedicated XOR engines
running at twice the data bus speed. The calculation of parity and
distribution of data can be optimized with the free association
between individual logical arrays and different optimization modes.
High Performance
Featuring a 64-bit 133 MHz memory bus, the unparalleled bandwith
makes the subsystem磗 high data throughput more than sufficient for
small-to-medium sized servers or workstations. Data can be distributed
at the burst rate to 1066 MB/s. The dual independent PCI bus design
virtually eliminates all imminent bottlenecks on I/O traffic, providing
sufficient throughput for a wide range of applications on SCSI-based
PCs, single-user workstations, NT, Linux, or Unix-based servers.
These applications include disk-to-disk backup, Video on Demand,
CCTV, and stream editing.
Intelligent Drive Handling
Media Scan is an innovative intelligent drive handling function
that can be used for data retrieval from degraded or damaged hard
drives. If two bad blocks occur on two member drives of an array,
the integrity of the stored data will be endangered. Intelligent
drive handling capabilities can be used to retrieve data from the
damaged sectors. Media Scan is able to handle low quality drives
in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process. Other
intelligent drive handling features, which provide further data
security, include the transparent resetting of hard drives, Power-failure
management and bad drive handling during LD expansion
