RS16 IP-4
 
ArrowProduct Overview
The RS16 IP-4, intelligent iSCSI RAID System, is the latest addition to the award-winning UltraStor family with a built-in 64-bit RAID controller for mission critical applications. Utilizing the cost-effective 3Gbps Serial ATA disks, the UltraStor™ RS16 IP-4 offers Enterprise-grade solution for applications that demand nothing short of superior reliability. Designed to meet the challenge of high impact/high volume network storage requirements, the new UltraStor™ RS16 IP-4 can be configured in minutes and is becoming the new standard for simplified SAN storage. With hundreds of installations worldwide Enhance Technology's UltraStor™ product line has built a solid reputation in markets spanning from video broadcasting to emerging disk based backup & recovery infrastructures.
 
ArrowUltraStor™ Versatility
Featuring Quad GbE ports (iSCSI), the RS16 IP-4 provides versatility critical to a company's IT infrastructure. UltraStor™ RS16 IP-4 is powered by a cutting edge 64-bit RAID engine, up to 2GB cache, and 3.0 Gbp/s disks, which maximizes disk performance (300MB/s via four iSCSI GbE ports) allowing for a broader range of storage possibilities. Built-in enterprise feature such as N-Way Mirror and Snapshot, providing point-in-time recovery that safeguard accidental deletion, makes the new UltraStor™ RS16 IP-4 an ideal solution for server storage such as Microsoft Exchange & SQL Server, as well as 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.

ArrowAppliance-based Storage
UltraStor™ is a host independent storage appliance which provides a transparent and driverless method of adding additional RAID (0, 1, 3, 5, 6) protected storage to an existing IT infrastructure, regardless of your operating system or hardware. The UltraStor™ RS16 IP-4 is designed to easily integrate into elaborate SAN fabrics or point-to-point centralized storage. UltraStor™ RS16 IP-4 truly offers a flexible and powerful solution that will increase your capacity, productivity and add unprecedented data protection.
 
ArrowPowerful Storage Management
webgui The new RS16 IP-4 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 RS16IP.
 
ArrowMulti-Path I/O
Enhance Technology UltraStor™ RS Series Enterprise IntelliRAID Now Supports MicrosofMicrosoft Windows 2003 Servert 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.
 
ArrowPower & 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."
