ULTRASTOR™
VersatilityFeaturing 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.

Appliance-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 supports
Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) , 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.
Powerful
Storage Management
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.
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 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."
