Diamond Storage Array

High-performance computer data storage components
 

 
diamond hostcard adapter Dual attach, hot-swappable host interface cards provide fully redundant connectivity and interoperability with optical or copper Fibre Channel connections. Future upgrades will support Ultra320, iSCSI and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connectivity.



diamond dual drive unit Twelve independent disk drive sleds – each disk drive sled contains two drives for a total capacity of up to 24 drives. Separate independent ATA busses allow for full drive performance free from bottlenecks. Through patentable Aggregated Data Transfer Technology (ADXT™) the performance of each drive is “added” together to provide unmatched levels of sustained data transfers as well as impressive I/Os per second performance.

diamond ethernet card Allows connection to Ethernet and/or RS-232 interfaces for easy out-of-band management. Menu driven Command Line Interface (CLI), SNIA MIB compliant interface. LED indicators show status of key array parameters:
        - Power supplies
        - Unit ready
        - Faults and I/O port activity
An audible fault alarm is also provided.

diamond blower unit Two hot-swappable, high-performance blowers provide consistent unit cooling and protection in case of a single blower assembly failure. Plus two hot-swappable and redundant power supplies ensure system uptime for Enterprise-class reliability.
