Alnico RAID Series
Alnico RAID series deliver high performance based on varied selections of host interface ranging from Ultra320 SCSI, 4Gb Fibre, PCIe, iSCSI to 3Gb SAS supporting both SATA-II and SAS hard disks coexisting inside ( model dependent). Alnico RAID subsystems are SAN ready and hot swappable / modular concept designs with easiness in setup and use. When properly configued, Alnico RAID subsystems can provide non-stop service with high degree of fault tolerance through the advantages of mature and sophisticated RAID technologies and array management features that are well appropriate for SMB or department and corporate sever needs.
