Lanner Electronics Launches RS12-38700, a 12-Bay SAS RAID

Lanner Electronics Inc.
announces the RS12-38700 storage appliance. The Lanner RS12-38700 is a
45nm Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor-based enterprise-class storage
appliance for network centric service applications such as WAN
acceleration, security information and event management, triple play,
cache server and unified communications. 

“Lanner’s
RS12-38700 is the amalgamation of 20 years experience in rackmount
hardware design,” offered Will Chen, Chief Technology Officer.
“Compared to chassis’ from generic manufacturers, Lanner offers the
latest in easy to service technology, including field replaceable
motherboard, drives, power supply, and fans.” 
 
Built around
the Intel 5000P chipset, the RS12-38700 supports two Quad-Core Intel
Xeon Processor 5400 Series, 8 fully buffered DIMMs, and two
PCI-Express networking modules. A dedicated onboard Vitesse RAID
controller supports 12 hot-swappable SAS/SATA hard drives with RAID 0,
1, 10 and 5 data protection, while a 2.5Gbps Cavium encryption engine
offloads layer 4 processing to reduce CPU load and deliver more
efficient system performance.
 
“Quad-Core Intel Xeon
processors combined with the Intel 5000P chipset delivers a wide array
of features for storage and intensive computing tasks; such as
increased bus bandwidth, fully-buffered memory support and flexible
PCI-Express Ethernet I/O integration,” said Seth Bobroff, general
manager, Storage, Intel Server Platform Group. “This high-performance,
energy-efficient platform enabled Lanner to deliver a RAID SAS storage
appliance allowing their customers to deploy highly responsive storage
and network service appliances.”
 
The RS12-38700 also supports
two network modules and up to 8 Gigabit fibre or copper ports.
Customers can choose from a range of fiber, fiber by-pass, or GbE RJ45
modules, to create a storage appliance with the right mix of networking
interfaces.
