Utilizing the high-performance SAS and cost-effective 3Gbps SATA disks, the new RS8 IP-4 offers enterprise-grade RAID storage solution for application that demand nothing short of superior reliability. Advanced features include quad-channel GbE iSCSI interface, high-speed connectivity and RAID volume “Snapshot” provides stability and reliability to the end user for data backup & recovery. The RS8 IP-4 can be configured in minutes and provides a perfect blend of RAID protection and performance, ideal for easy user interface.

UltraStor™ Versatility

Equipped with four-port iSCSI channels and gigabit IP connectivity, the RS8 IP-4 provides versatility critical to a company’s IT infrastructure. The RS8 IP-4 enables businesses of all sizes to benefit from its protection, performance and power-efficiency features. The RS8 IP-4 powered by the built in Intel based 64-bit processor with advanced features such as Snapshot, RAID-6, and web GUI remote management that provides a full backup of a large data set that safeguard accidental deletion. The new ULTRASTOR™ RS8 IP-4 is the perfect 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.

Key Features

  • Enterprise-class hybrid Serial ATA-based storage
  • Large capacity SAS disk drives/low cost SATA disk drives
  • Award winning design & reliability
  • One logic volume shared by as many as 16 hosts
  • Windows MPIO certified, host access control & CHAP
  • Easy LCD control, Remote monitoring and RAID management over TCP

Appliance-based Storage

UltraStor™ RS8IP-4 is a host independent storage appliance which provides an OS transparent and driverless method of adding additional RAID protected storage to an existing IT infrastructure, regardless of your operating system or hardware. UltraStor™ RS8IP-4 offers a flexible and powerful storage solution that increases your capacity, productivity and adds unprecedented data protection into your existing network infrastructure.

Powerful Storage Management

TThe new RS8 IP-4 offers multiple management options to match your workflow, and can be completely auto configured in minutes using the convenient front 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 RS8 IP-4.

Multi-Path I/O

Enhance Technology UltraStor™ RS8IP-4 Series enterprise IntelliRAID now supports Microsoft Multi-path 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. Multi-pathing, 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. Multi-pathing can also provide load balancing of I/O traffic, thereby improving system and application performance.

Power & Cooling

UltraStor™ RS8IP-4 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 industry grade cooling fan modules (3).
