Examples of said key components include Storage Controllers, HCI Controllers, RAID Controllers,
RAID Arrays, EBODs or JBODs, etc.
Or take full advantage of the flexibility offered by ThunderBay 4 and SoftRAID to connect multiple ThunderBays to create even larger
RAID arrays with up to 8, 12, and 16 drives for optimal performance and redundancy.
With this type of
RAID array, as with most (but not all) RAID setups, both hard drives need to have exactly the same capacity.
The quad processors can be backed with up to 64GB of double-data rate error-correcting memory, and the front face of the Areasys 3400 offers twelve 3.5 inch bays for hot-swappable SATA disks--for a total capacity of up to six terabytes (6,000 gigabytes) of
RAID array storage using today's maximum 500GB drives.
Twelve of its 14 hard drives are used for the
RAID array, while the NAS OS is mirrored on two hot-swappable 36 GB, 10000 rpm WD Raptor SATA disk drives with hardware RAID 1 to maintain maximum uptime.
The Prague-based car maker's installation also includes a 16TB storage system, SGI(R) InfiniteStorage TP9300 Fibre Channel
RAID array, integrated into a storage area network environment enabling powerful access for all other computing servers and pre- and post-processing workstations.
To increase availability, users simply add another workstation; no server upgrades or
RAID array disk firms are necessary.
For example, the access density of a
RAID array is its throughput divided by its usable capacity.
Tabib notes that each of DoubleClick's C*CURE 800 hot redundant servers contains three hard drives in a
RAID Array configuration and a triple power supply to maintain operation through almost any emergency situation.
The RAID controller then adds the newly formatted drive to the existing
RAID array of drives.
Attendees will also get a first look at the new multi-bay
RAID Array that will be officially announced on January 16th.
