Key features and Benefits
| Key features | Benefits |
|---|
RAID Migration: Dynamic data transfer in running operations from LUN to LUN without interrupting operations
| - Move data to fast or low-priced hard disks according to access frequency and importance
- Use the most appropriate RAID level even if requirements change
- Simplifies the ability to leverage new technology
|
| Data Block Guard: Appends check codes to every data block and verifies them at multiple checkpoints | - Helps to ensure data integrity both on the disk and in the cache
- Guarantees consistency of all stored data
|
Redundant Copy: Preventative drive replacement, based on error threshold monitoring, ensures data redundancy
| - Solves the problem of dangerously increasing recovery times within a RAID group, which comes from the increasing capacity of drives
|
Data Encryption: Optional encryption of the data on the RAID system
| - Protection of sensitive data upon removal from storage system
- Simple and cost effective
|
Eco-mode with MAID: (MAID = Massive Array of Idle Disks) Drives can be shut down by a scheduled spin-stop period or by auto spin-down
| - Eco-mode conserves energy and costs
|
8Gbit/s Fibre Channel connection
| - Higher speeds, greater storage consolidation
