 Product Overview |
The RS8 IP,
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™
RS8 IP 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™ RS8 IP 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. |

| UltraStor™ Versatility |
Featuring
two GbE ports (iSCSI), the RS8 IP runs 10 times faster than a NAS
system and provides versatility critical to a company's IT infrastructure.
ULTRASTOR™ RS8 IP is powered by a cutting edge 64-bit RAID engine,
up to 1GB cache, and 3.0 Gbp/s disks, which maximizes disk performance
(175MB/s Dual channel) allowing for a broader range of storage
possibilities. Built-in enterprise feature such as Snapshot, providing point-in-time recovery that safeguard accidental
deletion, makes the new ULTRASTOR™ RS8 IP 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 . |

| Appliance-based Storage |
ULTRASTOR™ is a host independent storage appliance which provides
a transparent and driverless method of adding additional RAID (0,
1, 5, 50) protected storage to an existing IT infrastructure, regardless
of your operating system or hardware. ULTRASTOR™ RS8 truly offers a flexible and
powerful solution that will increase your capacity, productivity
and add unprecedented data protection. |
| |
| Powerful Storage Management |
 The new RS8 IP 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. |

| Multi-Path I/O |
Enhance Technology UltraStor™ RS Series Enterprise IntelliRAID Now Supports Microsof  t 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 (3). 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." |
