MicroStorage DAS-S8A 960GB 8-Bays RAID

DAS-S8A 960GB 8-Bays RAID The MicroStorage DAS-S8A is a superior data storage option for mission critical and high performance applications. For mission critical applications requiring aggressive performance, total reliability and system scalability, the DAS-S8A is the obvious solution.

The DAS-S8A is equipped with Ultra160 to Ultra DMA RAID controllers to offer fault tolerant data protection and 100% transparency to the host operating system. A fully featured data protection subsystem supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 3 and 5, it is the ideal storage solution for applications requiring high data throughput, continuous availability, and flexibility in configuration.

System reliability is ensured by an environmental monitoring unit which tracks the enclosure temperature as well as individual disk temperatures. Hot swappable redundant power supplies are continuously monitored and high quality advanced cooling modules provide an optimal environment for high RPM drives. If
any irregularity in these systems occurs, the monitoring unit alerts the administrator with an audible alarm, by fax and pager.

The DAS-S8A comes with 8 drive trays accommodating 3.5" Ultra DMA drives while the SCA-II single connector architecture enables true hot swap capability.

With a menu driven front panel display, a terminal serial port, real time drive status indicators and a Java-based GUI interface, the DAS-S8A offers a variety of options for monitoring and management.
