| The X48 solution is ideal
for large SAN and datacenter storage initiatives. The solution utilizes
4 or 2 Gbit Fibre Channel disks, providing superior performance and
redundancy with dual loop technology. X48 system comes in a backplane-based
enclosure with redundant, hot swappable component pairs. Operation
statuses are constantly available.
This solution was designed to support both DAS and SAN configurations
and to be interoperable with all standard FC4 or FC2 host and switch
interfaces. In addition, the X48 control head supports up to (12)
4Gbit FC4 ports which can eliminate the need for a 4Gb FC switch.
X48’s interoperability ensures that all standard host cards
and switches work seamlessly with the system.
All X-Class systems are StorageWatch® capable allowing users
to reduce both infrastructure TCO and organizational operating costs
associated with today’s business of data assets and intelligence
that is required in ensuring long term organizational growth initiatives.
Infiniband Networking
RAID Inc. has qualified various director-class InfiniBand based
switches to provide a virtual gateway for environments that demand
extreme performance. This provides users with a low latency, multi-protocol
interconnect fabric that supports cluster inter-process communication,
shared storage and networking I/O access. Cluster performance is
significantly improved and the datacenter is dramatically simplified.
Benefits
Extremely high performance, scalability, connectivity, cost and
tiered storage. FC drives offer dual looping capabilities and systems
can be combined to support massive application performance in a
true end-to-end Fibre Channel storage solution.
