| UltraStor™ Versatility |
Featuring
two Ultra320 SCSI channels (DAS) or two GbE ports (iSCSI), the RS8
provides versatility critical to a company's IT infrastructure.
ULTRASTOR™ RS8 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™ RS8 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™ 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 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 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 intelligent
and user friendly 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." |
