Overview
The FS4500 Fibre to SATA RAID addresses the high growth, midrange
storage market, combining cost-effective SATA technology with
Fibre Channel RAID performance and reliability in SAN, DAS,
and clustered configurations. It is ideal for reference data
and fixed content applications where data availability, throughput
and constant access to storage resources are critical. The
FS4500 RAID is highly flexible and configurable to adapt to
evolving storage requirements with flexible configurations.

Features
 Dual
active, failover/failback RAID controllers provide up to 48,000
I/Os and 385 MByte/sec
No
single point of failure with redundant, hot-swappable components
Scalable
to 96 drives (24 TBytes), rackmount or pedestal configuration
Dual
port access to each drive with patented multiplexor technology
Intuitive,
comprehensive management with RAIDWatch management software
3
Gbit SATA-ready midplane for investment protection
Single
controller or dual controller high availability configurations
Up
to 1 GByte of cache per controller
Two
host ports, serial, Ethernet, and expansion port per controller.
Enhanced SATA Reliability
T he FS4500 maximizes SATA drive reliability and performance through
enhanced thermal and rotational vibration characteristics. The FS4500
has no single point of failure with redundant, hot swappable components
and a passive midplane. RAID controllers mask the drives’
SATA characteristics, presenting them to the host as high performance
FC devices. The dual channel multiplexer (DCM) technology allows
dual controllers to access each SATA drive for non-disruptive availability.
Optimal Data Availability and Throughput
The FS4500 provides dual Fibre interfaces to loop, fabric, or point-to-point
topologies, and redundant data paths for continuous access to large
storage pools. RAID controllers maximize availability, with a “heartbeat”
between them for transparent failover/failback in addition to cache
coherency and battery back-up. With support for RAID levels 0-5,
10, 30, and 50, one can select the level that best meets application
requirements. If a drive fails, the controller automatically rebuilds
the data on a global hot spare without impacting system performance.
LUN masking, parity-protected data buses, and ECC-protected memory
provide maximum availability and continuous data access.
Exceptional Scalability and Investment
Protection
Each FS4500 supports up to 12 disk drives or 3 TByte (using 250
GByte drives), in a dense 2U form factor. As storage needs grow,
add FS4100 JBOD expansion systems dynamically – up to a total
of eight systems (96 drives). A 3Gbit-ready midplane and support
for future SATA drives provide investment protection.
Innovative Modular Architecture
The FS4500 is based on an advanced Flexible Storage Architecture
(FSA). A modular, state-of-the-art design, FSA lets users optimize
individual storage solutions to changing application requirements
and network environments quickly and economically, by adding component
“building blocks.” The result is a flexible, universal
storage solution for enterprises that addresses current and future
needs, and unexpected changes.
Comprehensive Storage Management
The Spheras RAIDWatch software enables easy local or remote configuration,
monitoring, and tuning of the FS4500 solutions. Notification utilities
alert administrators to irregularities, while an intuitive interface
provides a comprehensive, graphical overview for pre-emptive troubleshooting
and system configuration.
