The RS3160SA-FD4G represents the pinnacle of hybrid Serial ATA technology. UltraStor™ RS3160SA-FD4G opens the door to the world of high performance computing by integrating emerging 3Gb SATA technology with next generation 4Gb Fibre Channel Dual-Port (FD) host interfaces. Specifically designed to address the challenges of high impact/high volume storage requirements, ULTRASTOR™ RS3160SA-FD4G support high data through put and yields superior performance that offers a new level of application possibilities. RS3160SA-FD4G continues the UltraStor™ tradition by delivering a solution that raises the bar in reliability, functionality and performance.

The RS3160SA-FD4G supports various RAID levels, including multi-level RAID 30, 50, and 60.RS3160SA-FD4G ensure the long-term data integrity and reliability with extensive utilities like disk cloning and disk scrubbing to proactively prevent performance degradation and data loss due to disk failure or latent bad sectors. UltraStor™ RS3160SA-FD4G also supports Windows multi-path technology (MPIO) tolerating path failure while aggregating bandwidth of multiple FC connections for higher data availability and system performance.

With two 4Gb SFP Fibre ports, the RS3160SA-FD4G provides increased reliability and functionality critical to a company’s IT infrastructure. UltraStor™ RS3160SA-FD4G includes a cutting edge 64-bit RAID architecture which maximizes the Serial ATA disk throughput potential. Making the system an ideal solution for professional storage applications such as high-speed disk-to-disk backup, image processing, near-line storage, data center, database server, media & asset management library and shared SAN network. Dynamic on-line RAID expansion allows additional capacity to be added without total system downtime, increasing your department's productivity. RS3160SA-FD4G’s easy sharing and better flexibility allows different RAID configurations to be deployed independently on single disk group so that the storage resources can be utilized efficiently. It also provides comprehensive tools to online change RAID attributes and capacity to manage free space and to conduct array roaming.

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™ RS3160SA-FD4G truly offers a flexible and powerful solution that will increase your capacity, productivity and add unprecedented data protection.

The RS3160SA-FD4G offers multiple management options to match your workflow from a variety of user interfaces including command line over local console and secure shell (SSH) LCD panel, and web-based graphical user interface. UltraStor™ RS3160SA-FD4G can be completely auto configured in minutes using the convenient front 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, Fibre Channel parameters (connection mode, ID, LUN mapping, etc.), SNMP features and security options. Events are recorded on the controller and mail is sent out to notify the users without installing any software or agents. RAID reconfiguration and disk scrubbing can be scheduled or periodically executed.
