Elma Single 6U NAS Blade ($5,000)
With two 2.5-inch SATA HDDs
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on April 14, 2010 at 3:16 pmThe Systems division of Elma
Electronic, Inc., supplier of embedded products and systems
solutions built on open standards-based platforms like CompactPCI, ATCA,
VME and VPX, now offers the 6211 cPCI RAIDStor with up to 1.2 TB in a
single cPCI slot or 2.4 TB with two slots. The new 6U CompactPCI
blade network attached storage (NAS) board provides automatic and
transparent cross-network or intra-blade data replication and re-sync
for enhanced data security and preservation.
The new RAIDStor is suitable for use in any embedded application
demanding high availability and reliability. Data intensive
applications, message processing, network-centric military applications,
redundant self-hosted Web servers or storage repositories as well as
transaction processing and logging applications benefit from the cPCI
RAIDStor.
Standard with dual 2.5" SATA hard disk drives, the new RAIDStor also
comes in lower capacity configurations. Front panel, removable drive
canisters with hot swap enable the fastest mean time to repair
(MTTR) in the industry. Solid-state drives can also be used for rugged,
high capacity RAID reliability.
The cPCI RAIDStor can be arranged in a single- or dual-star network
topology to provide complete redundancy in network paths as well as port
failover services enabled or disabled with a single command for
continuous system availability.
The cPCI RAIDStor is configurable to RAID level 0 (data striping)
for increased bandwidth as well as RAID level 1 (data mirroring)
or RAID level 5 (distributed parity – requires dual blade/four
drive configuration) for data redundancy.
Users can monitor the blade via a web browser and perform some
management functions via SNMP or a serial command line. Each RAIDStor is
equipped with one front panel Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port and two
ports
via the P0 connector to enable connections to multiple networks.
Pricing for the 6211 cPCI RAIDStor starts at $5,000 for single-slot
configurations and $6,000 for a dual-slot version, capacity dependent.
Delivery is six to eight weeks ARO.
Comments
In January 2009, Elma Electronic acquired ACT/Technico, in the industry for over 30 years.
Located in Warminster, Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia, it's a manufacturer and reseller of embedded hardware and software, and, in addition, the firm offered single board computers, mass storage and RAID products, networking solutions and device drivers.
It became a division of Elma Electronic.
