Rx2U8 8-BAY IDE-SCSI RAID ARRAY
SUB SYSTEM
The Rx2U8 IDE-SCSI Raid array unit is a 2U rack mount,
low cost, high performance raid sub system that is suitable for middle to
enterprise level storage requirements. Providing 24 x7 data protection and
availability for mission critical applications or On-Line Transactions
Processing (OLTP). Whether your need is database clustering or simply attached
storage for increased data availability, Rx2U8 is your perfect solution.
Powered by a proprietary ASIC and a
PowerPC RISC processor. With its advanced firmware functions as well as 64-bit
hardware architecture, data is distributed and processed at raging speed.

High Performance with Ultra fast Transfer Rates
High Performance 160MBps Ultra 160 SCSI Host Interface
Rx2U8 IDE-SCSI high performance comes from its PowerPC 603e RISC CPU. The
64-bit bus bandwidth at 66MHz between SDRAM and CPU makes its high data
throughput. Data can be designed efficiently to eliminate bandwidth
bottlenecks for IO traffic. Balanced bus loading and a user-friendly
design make it an optimal RAID solution.
High Data Availability- select your RAID Levels Easily
Rx2U8 IDE-SCSI Series provides RAID levels 0,1 (0+1),3
and 5. RAID configurations can be managed easily either through the LCD
control panel or by the system-embedded configuration utilities. Its high
data availability and protection derives from the following capabilities:
Automatic drive failure detection
Automatic failed drive rebuilding
Hot spare and background rebuild
Disk hot swap and online
background rebuilding
Zero-Down-Time
with Redundant Power
SupplyTwo hot-swappable redundant power supplies provide
zero-down-time and fault-tolerant power. With two power supplies
installed, both will share the current power needs of the whole system. If
one should fail, alarm will sound and the remaining power supply will take
over the full load until the faulty unit is replaced. The hot-swap feature
ensures that the system remains operating while replacement is taking
place.
More Protection with Hot swappable Cooling
Fan
Three cooling fans are integrated for redundancy.
Failures are displayed by the RAIDGuide manager software. Power Supply
modules are equipped with their own independent cooling fans.
Automatic Setup and Status Monitoring
The system will automatically initialize based on the number of disk
drives installed at start up. Manual configuration and monitoring can be
done through the LCD control panel. The firmware also contains an embedded
management program that can be accessed using a terminal connected to the
RS-232C port.
Easy to use RAIDGuide Manager
An easy-to-use, Java-based GUI RAID management software
designed specifically for using with the Rx2U8 IDE-SCSI RAID
subsystems. RAIDGuide provides a complete management interface to the
disk array and a constant real-time report of the current RAID status,
errors, events, and capacity. RAIDGuide permits IDE RAID managers to
quickly locate and rectify problematic hardware without downtime or data
loss. All RAID subsystem functions, such as password management and
firmware upgrades, can be handled through the RAIDGuide console. The
RAIDGuide makes IDE RAID Subsystem management an easy matter of
point-and-click from the local host or even remotely via Java-enabled
browser over a LAN.
