The
RS8 4G Fibre supports various RAID levels, including multi-level
RAID30, 50,and 60. RS8 FS ensure the long-term data integrity and
reliability with extensive utilities like disk cloning and disk
scrubbing to proactively prevent performance degradation and data loss
due todiskfailure or latent bad sectors. UltraStor™ RS8 FS also
supports Windows multi-path technology (MPIO) tolerating path failure
while aggregating bandwidth of multiple FC connections for higher data
availability and system performance.

4Gb Fibre Versatility
|
With
two 4Gb SFP Fibre ports, the RS8 FS provides increased reliability and
functionality critical to a company’s IT infrastructure. UltraStor™ RS8
FS includes a cutting edge 64-bit RAID architecture which maximizes the
SAS/SATA disk throughput potential. Making the system an ideal solution
for professional storage applications such as high-speed D2D
(disk-to-disk) backup, image processing, near-line storage, data
center, database server, media & asset management library and
shared SAN network. Dynamic on-line RAID expansion allows additional
capacity to be added without total system downtime, increasing your
department's productivity. RS8 FS’s easy sharing and better flexibility
allows different RAID configurations to be deployed independently on
single disk group so that the storage resources can be utilized
efficiently. It also provides comprehensive tools to online change RAID
attributes and capacity to manage free space and to conduct array
roaming.

The
new RS8 4Gb Fibre subsystem offers multiple management options to match
your workflow, and can be completely auto configured in minutes using
the convenient front LCD control panel, and monitored or reconfigured
through a remote connection. A comprehensive menu screen facilitates
the setup process and lets users reconfigure the system as storage
needs change. An RS232 interface gives users access to advanced
features such as multiple array settings, fibre channel parameters
(connection mode, ID, LUN mapping, etc.) SNMP features and security
options. A network interface is available for remote web browser based
management and includes the essential tools required to manage and
monitor your RS8 FS.

UltraStor Storage Expansion
|
UltraStor
RS8 FS 4Gb Fibre RAID subsystem allows dynamic RAID expansion to an
optional secondary JBOD unit, the RS16 JS, through an embedded Mini-SAS
expansion port. The embedded expansion port on the advanced UltraStor
models helps reduce your total cost of ownership and protects your
investment.
