High-Performance Power-Efficient Unified SAS/SATA RAID

We use Adaptec next-generation Unified Serial Controllers to deliver maximum performance RAID solutions using High-Capacity SATA Drives and/or High-End SAS Drives. These controllers are ideal for enterprise-class storage applications that demand maximum performance, scalability and flexibility. While delivering maximum I/O Speed and Performance, Adaptec Intelligent Power Management slashes power and cooling costs by spinning down idle disks and providing a lower power mode for active disks - which makes them fit perfectly with our Green Power and Computing objectives.

Hardware RAID Features

We design our systems to provide maximum performance and reliability, and a large part of our overall vision is proper data integrity and data protection. Hardware RAID solutions complement the capabilities of our modern power-efficient server and workstations solutions that also feature low-power CPUs / processors, highly efficiency power-supplies, extremely low-wattage and low-heat small-form-factor (2.5-inch) disk drives and SSD (Solid State Drives — like the Intel X-25M and X-18E series) storage, power-optimized graphics cards, and virtualization technologies (VMware ESXi, Workstation, and the like).

In addition to SSD-RAID systems, we also build RAID solutions featuring newer "hybrid" 2.5" drives like the Seagate® Savvio™ series — in some settings, the price-performance and price-per-GB ratio of these hybrid drives makes a lot of sense depending on your application, and deliver some of the performance boost that you would expect from an SSD but at a fraction of the cost. High efficiency, high reliability, and high performance are all combined in our optimized computing solutions.

Not only can Enterprise-class hardware SAS/SATA RAID provide your fast and efficient servers and workstation with proper data protection, it can also deliver exceptional speed to your Enterprise software applications via RAID-levels that are optimized for both speed and redundancy. The controllers we use provide these excellent choices of RAID levels and drive configurations to meet your performance and/or data-protection goals, while allowing for RAID Level Migration too:

Supported RAID levels include:

• RAID 0
• RAID 1
• RAID 1E
• RAID 5
• RAID 5EE
• RAID 6
• RAID 10
• RAID 50
• RAID 60
• JBOD

In addition, our Hardware RAID solutions provide for Online Capacity Expansion (expand capacity without powering down the server), and Copyback Hot Spare (when a failed drive has been replaced, data is automatically copied from the hot spare back to the restored drive, allowing the hot spare to remain in the same spot).
