Xyratex F6500E
The Xyratex Model F6500E RAID systems are designed for speed, integrity, and always-on-availability using newly available 8Gb/s Fibre Channel and SAS technologies. The F6500E RAID controller provides full featured hardware redundancy, high performance host connections, and easy expansion with fault-tolerant, full-duplex, high-speed SAS external ports. An internal SAS interface delivers a total of 96 drives in a single RAID system. Implemented into the Xyratex OneStor range of enclosures, the F6500E offers the choice of 2U or 4U systems, and can be used with either 3 1/2” or 2 1/2” disk drives offering the flexibility to meet a wide range of needs. Xyratex single RAID controller configurations are a cost effective option for more affordable storage applications. Xyratex dual controller configurations provide the ultimate in high availability with complete hardware and firmware redundancy and automatic fail-over/fail-back capabilities. The Model F6500E RAID system adapts to a broad range of applications, and the capability to mix both SATA and SAS technology within a single disk enclosure provides an optimum tiered storage environment for Information Lifecycle Management.
Manage Storage and Recovery from a Single Pane of Glass
Xyratex’s StorView software configures and administers the F6500E storage system. Automated control of individual controller’s cache, arrays and devices via a web-based interface simplifies storage administration, while StorView’s full-function Command Line Interface (CLI) allows integration of array management into existing operational procedures. Xyratex’s entire series of RAID storage systems comes standard with StorView management software, allowing for intuitive administration and performance monitoring. An optional upgrade to StorView Global Manager enables configuration, monitoring and management of RAID controllers from any location, anywhere on the network.
All Xyratex RAID storage systems are equipped with Snapshot, providing a point-in-time record of critical data stores. Four snapshots are available to start implementing immediate recovery capabilities, while an optional Snapshot upgrade allows for up to 64 snapshots per Logical Drive and up to 512 Snapshots per RAID system. The StorView software also enables access to the RAID Advanced Power Management which can be used to reduce the operational costs of the RAID storage system, while ensuring continuous availability to data.
