E-Class SAS -to- SAS / SATA RAID Storage System VTrak E-Class Serial Attached SCSI Serial Attached SCSI (SAS-wide)-to-SAS/SATA 3Gb/s Dual Controller RAID System with JBOD Expansion High Availability Promise VTrak E-Class is a family of intelligent, dual controller, SAS/SATA based storage arrays that fundamentally changes storage economics from purchase and set up to operation and upgrades. Four 3Gb SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) x4 host interface ports per controller provide a reliable, high-performance alternative to Ultra SCSI 320 storage applications. Each standard 3U 19” rack unit supports up to 16 off-the-shelf 3.5” SAS or SATA 3Gb/s drives. Attach up to four SAS JBODs to deliver 80 drive bays of direct attached storage. VTE610sS (single) and VTE610sD (dual) Simple and Familiar Direct Attached Storage (DAS) Direct Attached Storage has remained a favorite of SMB operations worldwide. Easy to Highlights configure and familiar even to novice system administrators, SAS inherits all of the DAS attributes while leaving its limitations far behind. With advanced multi-pathing capabilities, cascade support and full redundancy, the VTrak E-Class goes where parallel SCSI products :: Dual/Redundant RAID controllers could not reach with four SAS-wide host interface ports per controller No single point of failure This enterprise-class, cable-less system design includes fully redundant, hot-swappable :: 16 hot-swappable drive bays in a controllers, power and cooling units. All system components are constantly monitored using robust 3U chassis industry standard protocols to ensure continuous operation in case of failure or component malfunction. Dual active-active, failover/failback RAID controllers provide redundant data paths :: Supports Serial Attached SCSI to further help ensure availability. (SAS) and SATA 3Gb/s drives simultaneously RAID 6 RAID 6 (double parity) delivers the highest level of reliability and data protection in a cost- :: RAID Levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6 10, 50, 60 effective solution. As the capacity of storage arrays increases, so does the risk of encountering unrecoverable read errors with single parity RAID levels. RAID 6 can handle double drive failures, thereby providing greater protection against data loss. This also dramatically reduces :: One SAS-wide (x4) expansion the risk of catastrophic data loss during RAID rebuilds. port per controller supports up to four VTrak JBODs (80 bays total) Easy to install and manage The VTrak line features Promise’s embedded browser based management interface, WebPAM :: Supports cascade of up to four PROe, eliminating the need to install additional software. All VTrak systems on the network fully populated E-Class RAIDs can be configured and monitored using a single, easy-to-manage interface through an out-of- (320 bays total) band Ethernet port. By using industry-standard management protocols, Promise simplifies integration with third-party management applications. :: Out-of-band Ethernet or RS-232 management using standards Service and Support based protocols including pop-up Every VTrak is backed by the Promise 3-Year limited warranty with 24/7 telephone and email messages, event logging, and email support (Americas & EMEA). When our support confirms a failure in the field, advanced notification. replacement parts are always available to eliminate down time.
