WARMINSTER, Pa., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- ACT/Technico (http://www.acttechnico.com/), a leading supplier of embedded products and systems solutions built with CompactPCI, VMEbus and other open standards-based platforms, now offers the VME RAIDStor, a single-slot 6U network attached storage (NAS) blade that provides the same automatic, transparent data replication and re-sync of traditional box-level RAID storage modules in a more compact footprint.
With network access for up to 18 slots (up to 1/2 terabyte per slot) in a 19" chassis, the SATA-based VME RAIDStor is suitable for use throughout many industries in a number of high availability, data intensive applications including message processing, network-centric military environments, redundant self-hosted Web servers or storage repositories as well as transaction processing and logging.
The blade can be configured in a single-star topology where the VME RAIDStor is connected to one network, or in dual-star where two networks are present, providing completely redundant network paths as well as port failover services enabled or disabled with a single command for continuous system availability.
The VME RAIDStor, which comes in either conduction- or convection-cooled versions, is configurable to RAID level 0 (data stripping) for increased capacity performance as well as RAID level 1 (data mirroring) for data redundancy and availability. Dual PMC-mounted solid state flash SATA drives and an extended temperature range of -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C enables the VME RAIDStor to operate effectively in rugged environments.
Users can manage the blade as an appliance or via an SNMP through a password-protected Web browser interface with event notifications sent by e-mail. Each RAIDStor is equipped with one front panel Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port and two ports via the P0 connector to enable connections to different networks. A 1 GHz Freescale processor provides 512 MD of DDR-ECC memory, 64 MB of NOR-based Flash memory and 128 KB of SRAM.
Pricing for the VME RAIDStor starts at $6,500 for air-cooled with rotating drives. Delivery is six to eight weeks ARO.
