Utilizing the high performance SAS disks, the UltraStor™ RS16SS offers Enterprise-grade solution for applications that demand nothing short of superior reliability. Designed to address the challenges of high impact/high volume storage requirements, the new UltraStor™ RS16SS is becoming the new standard for RAID protected storage. With hundreds of installations worldwide Enhance Technology's UltraStor™ product line has built a solid reputation in markets spanning from nonlinear digital video editing to emerging disk based backup & recovery infrastructures.

UltraStor™ Versatility

Featuring two SAS channels and one SAS expandable port, the RS16 provides versatility critical to a company's IT infrastructure. UltraStor™ RS16SS is powered by a cutting edge 64-bit RAID engine which maximizes disk performance allowing for a broader range of storage possibilities. Built-in enterprise feature such as Snapshot makes the new UltraStor™ RS16SS an ideal solution for professional storage applications such as Disk-to-disk backup, database pools, image acquisition, near line storage, data centers, media & asset management libraries and shared SAN networks. Dynamic on-line RAID expansion allows additional capacity to be added without total system downtime, increasing your department's productivity.

Appliance-based Storage

UltraStor™ 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. The UltraStor™ series is designed to easily integrate into elaborate SAN fabrics or point-to-point centralized storage. UltraStor™ RS16SS truly offers a flexible and powerful solution that will increase your capacity, productivity and add unprecedented data protection.

Powerful Storage Management

The new RS16SS offers multiple management options to match your workflow, and can be completely auto configured in minutes using the convenient rear LCD control panel, and monitored or reconfigured through a remote connection. A comprehensive menu screen facilitates the setup process and lets users reconfigure the system as storage needs change. An RS232 interface gives users access to advanced features such as multiple array settings, iSCSI parameters (connection mode, ID, LUN mapping, etc.) SNMP features and security options. A network interface is available for remote web browser based management and includes the essential tools required to manage and monitor your RS16SS.

Multi-Path I/O

Enhance Technology UltraStor™ RS Series Enterprise IntelliRAID Now Supports Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO) that integrates tightly with the Microsoft Windows® family of products and their architectures. High reliance on the Internet and e-commerce means that organizations are increasingly requiring that their data be available 24x7, year round. Multipathing, the ability of a system to use more than one read/write path to a storage device, is a high availability solution that provides fault tolerance against single-point-of failure in hardware components. Multipathing can also provide load balancing of I/O traffic, thereby improving system and application performance.

Power & Cooling

UltraStor™ keeps your workloads and critical applications running 24x7 without hardware failure interruption through the deployment of robotic power and cooling management, specifically its redundant hot-swappable power supplies (2) and fans (2). As described by the testing engineer from hard drive manufacturer Western Digital Corporation's interoperability lab ". This system can compete side by side with some of the best systems that we have tested in our lab to date."
