VTrak Overview
The PROMISE VTrak Ex30 series support for 6 Gb/s SAS and SATA disks and a
next-generation embedded storage I/O processing platform out to set a new
performance standard while providing a reliable, flexible and easy to manage
RAID storage system.
The VTrak E830f and E630f are coupled with high speed 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel
host connectivity.
The VTrak E830i and E630i are coupled with high speed 1 Gb/s iSCSI host
connectivity.
Performance
The PROMISE VTrak Ex30 series is built using the Intel’s next-generation
storage platform, the Intel Xeon processor C5500/C3500 series to keep pace
with performance demands with four data ports per RAID controller and support
for 6 Gb/s SAS and SATA hard disk drives and solid state drives. Delivered in a
Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) 2.0 compliant package, the Ex30f offers the full
redundancy that is expected of an enterprise solution. Dual active-active
controller modules with cache mirroring over a PCIe Gen 2 link allow for
redundant data paths to ensure data availability while dual power supply/cooling
units minimize downtime and any disruption to business continuity.
GreenRAID
PROMISE cares about the environment. VTrak products utilize environmentally
friendly production methods and materials and are designed with high-efficiency
in mind. Powered by 80Plus certified power supplies that offer up to 85% power
efficiency, all VTrak Ex30 products improve total cost of ownership by conserving
power, reducing heat output and improving cooling costs. Additionally, the
PROMISE as GreenRAID story includes advanced power management support
for hard disk drives providing up to 65% energy savings.
Service and Support
Every VTrak Ex30 subsystem is backed by the PROMISE Three-Year limited
warranty with 24-hour, 7-day telephone and e-mail support. In addition to our
