The FibreArray HI provides a seemless upgrade path from single server storage connectivity to a multi server SAN storage system. When used with Raidtec's FC Access software full secure SAN volume management is provided. By adding up to 9 complimentary FibreArray 12 FC enclosures, up to 120 drives can be part of the FibreArray HI controlled Array. Hot swap fans and Power supplies also contribute to the high degree of fault tolerance designed into the FibreArray HI system.
RAID levels can be mixed and configured to form multiple virtual array groups.
Global and dedicated spares can be allocated to maximize uptime and redundancy. Fibre Channel Fabric Switch and Multi-Initiator support is standard in the firmware providing compatibility with the widest choice of SAN components. The FibreArray HI is designed to provide the demanding capacity, management tools and expansion capabilities that 21st Century network computing and data sharing requirements will demand. The FibreArray HI 12 is host and operating system independent. FC Access provides secure SAN volume management in multiple host configurations.
