EUROstor SATA RAID system now with 24 SATA-II disks 12 TByte in 4 height units Filderstadt, 05.08.2005 EUROstor’s ES-6200 SATA RAID series with FC or Ultra320 SCSI interface have up to now been available with 8, 12 or 16 disks. Now the series has been expanded by a new model that offers 24 disks in 6 rows. Like the previous models it is based on an Infortrend controller with 600 MHz processor and ASIC 266 technology and can be managed with RAIDwatch ® software all over the network. The new systems support SATA-II with Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and equipped with 24 of the newest 500 GByte disks from Hitachi they achieve a maximum capacity of 12 TByte. Using RAID5 and one hot spare disk still 11 TByte remain, that can be flexibly split into partitions and distributed to servers via two host ports (alternatively Ultra 320 SCSI or 2 Gbit Fibre Channel). With Fibre Channel WWN mapping is supported to address lots of different servers over a switch. 512 MByte cache come with the systems, optionally it can be upgraded to 2 GByte. With these systems EUROstor also offers optional on-site service. „It is indeed as big step forward, to be able to store a total amount of amazing 12 TByte securely on one single compact system.” says Franz Bochtler, President of EUROstor. “For our customers this means that with less RAID systems they can store much more data, thus saving money.” SATA RAID systems find their natural place everywhere, where large amounts of data are being produced: like in imaging and video archiving applications. RAID Systems with the new Infortrend controller generation: EUROstor offers not only SATA-II based RAIDs (ES-6200) but also RAIDs with SCSI (ES-7200) and Fibre Channel (ES-9200) disks. They all are equipped with the new ASIC266 controller generation. Their performance has decisively increased compared to the previous generation, and with all of them cache can be upgraded to 2 GByte. More about these RAID systems on www.EUROstor.com.
