RAIDStor - 6U Network Attached Storage Blade      Model 6210

RAIDStor is a network attached storage solution (NAS) representing the leading edge in highly available (HA) embedded systems designed for maximum data security, preservation and integrity. RAIDStor is a leap in technology over conventional box level RAID solutions. RAIDStor is a building block that eliminates difficult file synchronization issues required when implementing HA systems.

RAIDStor Features:
  • Automatic fail over, drive to drive or blade to blade
  • Automatic and transparent duplication of the data across the primary and secondary storage blades
  • Drive level front panel hot swap
  • RAID 0, 1, 0+1 and 1+1 configurable - no hardware to exchange
  • Diskless client boot support
  • Web Browser - Manage RAIDStor as an appliance or via SNMP.
  • Network management without impact to top level application
  • Client/server model for storage access
  • Smallest RAID footprint in the industry
  • Synchronization capability implemented between blades.
  • Supports NFS, CIFS/SMB, Web Server, bootp, and FTP

When a storage failure occurs, RAIDStor sends an email notification while it maintains data integrity and updates on the redundant blade / drive(s).  Hot swap capability ensures minimal mean time to repair (MTTR) then RAIDStor automatically re-syncs the new storage hardware while the top level application continues in full operation.

RAIDStor Specifications:
  • 6U x 160 mm form factor
  • PICMG 2.16 CompactPCI Packet Switched Backplane (cPSB) compatible
  • Deployable in a VME64x system via VITA 31.1 backplane with one or two 2.16 node slots
  • MPC8245 PowerPC SBC
  • 200 GB per blade capacity on two 60 GB capacity 2.5" enhanced duty 7200 rpm drives. Higher capacities when available. 
  • Rotating or solid state drives
  • Dual Gigabit Ethernet Base-Tx Ethernet ports
  • Compatible with Ethernet fabric switches

RAIDStor Applications: 

  • Rugged secure storage installations
  • Embedded file server
  • NAS embedded storage using NFS
  • Active/Active NAS solution
  • Boot server
  • Redundant, self hosted web server
  • OA&M server
  • General Purpose Networking

RAIDStor - GUI (Web Browser Interface)

RAIDStor - GUI (Web Browser Interface) -
included in RAIDStor Kit

The web browser interface makes managing the RAIDStor as easy as an appliance – from anywhere in the world. With the look and operability of a web page, RAIDStors web browser allows the user to:

  • Monitor system status; primary / secondary blade status, synchronization level, synchronization status, system bandwidth, system uptime, network link status.
  • Halt and reboot blades after repair and replacement
  • Edit email notification targets
  • Log in to the system with password protection
  • Control protocols such as FTP, Telnet , relogin and others
