Janus 4378 (PCI-E) 8 bay SATA II RAID  |  |
Description The Janus4378 is a single controller, PCI-Express to SATA-II RAID system in a compact, 2U 8 bay chassis. The unit features hot-swappable drives, power supplies and fans. The controller, fans, and power supplies are modularized allowing for easy removal from the rear of the unit. The Janus4378 features a new GUI application, RAIDGuard X, that enables easy configuration and monitoring. The Janus4378 utilizes a PCI Express bus, enabling greater bandwidth capabilites. There is no conversion to fibre channel, SCSI, or SAS, which helps reduce communication overhead, increasing response and decreasing latency. By connecting storage directly to a PCI Express bus, the unit offers huge bandwidth. Supports x4 PCI Express, which enables bandwidth of up to one gigabyte per second (1000 MB/s). The Janus4378 features high availability hardware & firmware architecture which automatically detects bad array sectors & failing disk drives before data is affected. Operating system independent & transparent with Windows, Linux, Novell, UNIX, or Mac based servers. On-line expansion allows the user to add drives to an existing array without interrupting operation. 3 year parts and labor warranty with 5 year warranty option. - RAIDGuard X is a java-based management tool making it easy to install on a wide variety of operating systems. RAIDGuard X provides users the ability to configure, monitor in real-time, and run maintenance tools. RAIDGuard X provides real-time status monitoring and notification.
- Disk Lag Proof Technology ensures a steady and reliable data stream by neutralizing unpredictable error prone disk. Disk Lag Proof Technology will stabilize erratic or fluctuating data streams caused by instable malfunctioning disks.
- On-the-Fly initialization provides users immediate access to the data volume during the initialization process. This feature significantly decreases the amount of downtime experienced with traditional initialization.
- Online Array Roaming- The task of swapping drives between units can be accomplished with the unit powered on and online. The Online Array Roaming function will recognize and identify previous arrays and automatically import RAID configurations. This process can be completed using RAIDGuard X.
- Online Array Recovery- In an event when multiple drive failures occurred, the Online Array Recovery feature is able to restore corrupted RAID configurations, and begin disk rebuilding. This process can be completed using RAIDGuard X.
- Snapshot Technology- To further increase data protection mirror snapshot with full-volume copy has been implemented. A maximum of 8 shots are supported, and can be easily configured and scheduled using RAIDGuard X.
- Health Center- Three functions arevailable to maintain your data's health, which are Verify Parity, Rebuild Parity, and Refresh Data and Parity. Verify parity will read through data to ensure that all data and parity stripes are useable. Rebuild Parity will regenerate all parity. Lastly Refresh Data and Parity will read through to find corrupted parity and regenerate it from good data.
- Dual Flash ROM per controller gives higher RAID system availability and reliability during firmware upgrading or in the event of a single ROM failure.
- Support for greater than 2TB LUN- The JanusRAID2 series natively supports 16byte CDB to allow for easy creation of LUNs greater than 2 terabytes.
Ideal Applications- Departmental & Small Business Storage
- Disk to Disk Backup
- Video Streaming Applications
- Security and Surveillance
- VR Backup & Storage
- Audio and Video Editing
- VOD on Education or Entertainment
- Fixed Content Archiving.
