Overview
The SANnet® II SATA Special Edition is an affordable,
compact, and expandable array designed to meet the needs of
near-line storage, data reference, and data archival applications.
|
Management
A variety of management interfaces are available. The array can
be accessed through the LCD keypad panel, RS-232C terminal, telnet,
or remotely through the Java-based RAIDWatch manager. Users are
constantly aware and automatically notified of array status using
any or all of the following notification methods: Email, Fax, LAN
broadcast, SNMP Traps, MSN messaging, ICQ, SMS short messages, and
the configuration utility screen.
Architecture
Based on architecture designed for the most demanding applications,
the subsystem is capable of very high levels of performance. Its
64-bit separate-bus backbone is built around dedicated XOR engines
running at twice the data bus speed.
The calculation of parity and distribution of data can be optimized
with the free association between individual logical arrays and
different optimization settings.
Specifications
High Performance
Featuring a 64-bit, 133MHz memory bus, the unparalleled bandwidth
makes the subsystem’s high data throughput more than sufficient
for small-to-medium-sized servers or workstations. Data can be distributed
at a burst rate up to 1066MBps. The dual-independent PCI bus design
virtually eliminates all imminent bottlenecks on I/O traffic, providing
sufficient throughput for a wide range of applications on workstations,
Windows 2000/2003/XP-, Linux-, or Unix-based servers. These applications
include disk-to-disk backup, video-on-demand, CCTV, stream editing,
and others.
Intelligent Drive Handling
If bad blocks occur on two member drives of an array, the integrity
of the stored data is endangered. Media Scan, Caen’s innovative
intelligent drive handling function, repairs and retrieves data
from the affected or adjacent sectors. Media Scan handles low quality
drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process.
For additional data security, other intelligent drive management
features include the transparent resetting of non-responsive hard
drives, power-failure management, and bad-drive handling during
LD expansion.
Auto-Switch Cache Policy and Auto-Shutdown
When a RAID controller detects conditions that exceed the preset
thresholds, the following actions will be initiated to protect the
hardware:
1. Cached data will be automatically flushed and the array’s
caching mode will be switched from write- back to write-through.
2. If the conditions persist past a preset period of time, auto
shutdown of the controller will commence.
All the thresholds associated with this mechanism are user configurable
and, once a subsystem manager restores the normal operating conditions,
the caching mode will change back from write-through to write-back
mode.
