TaskMaster™ 16000 RAID series are intelligent and innovative storage subsystems for mission critical and high bandwidth applications. Purpose-built for high volume, fail-safe data storage applications, the TaskMaster 16000 RAID sets new standards in its class. It features a backplane design for sixteen hot-swappable disk drives, N+1 load sharing power supplies with PFC, pure Aluminum case & components, and specially designed airflow passages.
RAID Functionality
TaskMaster 16000 RAID is equipped with an Ultra160 SCSI RAID controller to offer fault-tolerant data protection. It is 100% transparent to the host operating system and requires no custom drivers. It is a full featured data protection subsystem supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5, and JBOD. It is the ideal storage solution for applications requiring high data throughput, availability, and flexibility in configuration.
Environmental Features
System reliability of the TaskMaster 16000 RAID is ensured by an environmental monitoring unit. The environmental monitoring unit monitors the internal environment of the disk enclosure such as power supplies, temperature, voltage and cooling fans. It not only tracks the enclosure temperature, but also monitors individual disk temperatures as well. If any irregularity in these systems occurs, the monitoring unit alerts the administrator with an audible alarm, by fax and pager.
User Interface
All major components including drives, power supplies and fans are redundant and removable for easy serviceability. The TaskMaster 16000 RAID features an easy-to-read menu-driven LCD display of array/drive status and array configuration commands. It comes with fault and activity LEDs, Up, Select, Down and Exit buttons for easy operation.
Design Features
TaskMaster 16000 RAID subsystems come with sixteen hot-swappable Ultra320 SCSI disk drives and trays. Reliability is insured with load sharing hot swappable triple redundant (N+1) 300 Watt power supplies with PFC. The TaskMaster 16000 RAID's scalable design makes expansion easy when storage needs increase. It is the ideal storage solution for applications requiring high data throughput, availability, and flexibility in configuration.
