Conduction Cooled VME RAIDStor

VME RAIDStor - 6U VMEbus Network Attached Storage Blade                                                   Models 5500 and 5501 conduction and convection cooled

VME RAIDStor brings network attached storage (NAS) with RAID capability into a single 6U slot. Suitable for a multitude of applications, the module provides as much as a quarter terabyte of solid-state flash per slot. Within a typical 19” chassis, network access is available for up to 18 slots in dual star networks; here, the VME RAIDStor is a client/server model for highly reliable storage access in today’s network centric applications.

RAIDStor Features:

  • A much smaller footprint than conventional box level RAID storage
  • Conduction cooled and convection cooled versions
  • Dual PMC mounted solid state flash SATA drives for rugged environments
  • Extended temperature range from –40° C to +85° C
  • Configurable to RAID levels 0 and 1
  • Automatic and transparent duplication of data
  • Automatic data re-sync with no impact to the top level application
  • Instantaneous drive to drive fail over with no service interruption
  • Ethernet port fail over in redundant networks
  • Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports via P0; single front panel port
  • Heartbeat support for seamless fail over
  • Available in convection/air cooled and conduction cooled versions

CC VME RAIDStor represents leading edge technology in highly available (HA) systems designed for maximum data security, preservation and integrity. This NAS device is a leap in technology over conventional box level RAID solutions. CC VME RAIDStor eliminates difficult file synchronization issues required when implementing HA systems.
