| Ultra320 SCSI / 2 Gb/ 4 Gb FC to SATA-II RAID Subsystems |
PETASTOR Alnico RAID Series provides a simple, scalable, reliable mass storage solution for today’s fast-growing business world. Exceptional performance, continuous availability, cost-effective, and proven reliability make Alnico the best selection for all small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) and enterprises.
There are some features on Alnico RAID Series but the most notable is supporting advanced and secure RAID-6 technology. RAID 6 enables IT users to recover data in the event of two hard drive failures and provides the highest level of data protection. Alnico RAID Series also make use of modular design and cable-less design concept. Modular design allows easily swapping out faulty parts to shorten downtime, and cable-less design provides users of ease of maintenance. MIS administrators can utilize the most convenient web-based GUI RAID manager to configure and monitor Alnico RAID subsystems with no specific software or patches required.
In short, Alnico RAID Series combines high performance 2/4 Gbps FC-AL or Ultra320 SCSI host channels with cost-effective SATA hard disks and simplifies storage setup processes to make a smart choice for any kinds of purpose. |

- The user-friendly Web Browser-based manager allows local or remote to access it from any standard internet browser via a LAN or WAN with on specific software or patches required.
- The firmware includes SMTP manager; it monitors all system events and users can select either single or multiple user notifications to be sent via e-mails.
- The firmware-embedded SNMP agent allows remote to monitor events via LAN without SNMP agent.

- Advanced Data Guard technology, RAID 6, provides the highest level of data protection. Multiple concurrent drive failures can be tolerated without downtime or data loss.
- Online Array Roaming allows the administrators the ability to move a completely raid set to another system without losing RAID configuration and data on that raid set.
- Redundant and hot swappable power supply modules and cooling fan systems can tolerate a main failure without interrupting service.

- Cable-less Design: utilizing solid PCB and connector instead of cables
- Modular Design: disk drive, cooling fan module, LCD, switch, power supply unit, and RAID controller are modules. It allows easily swapping out faulty parts to shorten downtime.
- Top-notch dual power supply modules with PFC (power fact correction) feature and load sharing type.
- Advanced and wide range airflow design: Redundant fans are in a single module.
- Optional Battery Backup module preserves cache contents from power failure.
- Auto-Latch Lock: Two simple steps to remove the hard drive tray. This creative concept is designed to avoid accidental removal.

| A RAID 6 is essentially an extension of a RAID 5 by providing two parity codes for each stripe of data. Meaning two concurrent drive failures can be sustained with no loss of data, providing enhanced data protection as compared with single-parity RAID subsystems. The concurrent failure tolerance of RAID 6 vastly increases data protection over RAID 5. |  |
