Product Overview

A Pioneer and leader in hybrid I/O technologies, Enhance Technology introduces the one and only expandable storage system R8 Series, a 2U 8-disk RAID engine embedded rackmount storage system product line, developed for OEM, VAR, & storage solution providers for daily Disk-to-Disk (D2D) backup, video editing, e-mail archive, etc. The EnhanceRAID™ R8 Series features a next generation 64-bit Scale storage processor capable of sustaining data rates up to 265MB/Sec, and offers a cutting edge "web-based" user interface which provides complete storage control over a standard web browser. The EnhanceRAID R8 XP model features MultiLink™I/O technology which two additional Multi-lane channels optioned for daisy-chaining another R8 ML disk array system for storage expansion in addition to the build in eight (8) Serial ATA I/II disks supported. EnhanceRAID systems provide a host of RAID advanced functions, empowering users with capabilities (such as Snapshot, N-Way Mirror & RAID 6 features) normally found in enterprise-class storage systems.

Industry Proven SATALINK™ Technology

The EnhanceRAID system was built on the world-known hybrid I/O technology, the SATALink™ , a SCSI-to-SATA converging technology pioneered by Enhance Technology to bring low-cost SATA disks to the broadband high performance computing environments. The propriety MultiLink™ I/O technology is introduced to connect additional disk array system through Multi-lane interface that helped resellers and integrators to offer more cost/effective storage solution to the end customers.

Versatile RAID storage Module

The EnhanceRAID system is a host independent storage appliance which provides a transparent and driverless method of adding additional RAID protected storage to an existing IT infrastructure, regardless of your operating system or hardware. It is ideal for Microsoft Exchange and SQL server, and provides the fastest, simplest, safest way to share protected data between desktops, networks and work groups.

Next Generation Storage Engine

Performance Powered by the latest Intel IOP80331 storage processor, the EnhanceRAID™ system produces an outstanding 265MB/s speed to satisfy for users with large video editing, data backup or recovery, and archiving projects.
