SCSI is one of the software protocols supported. Ciprico offers a full line of high bandwidth disk arrays which are well suited to real-time, high bandwidth applications. Ciprico's arrays all offer high data transfer rate, no performance degradation after drive failures, and media redundancy. There are a number of interface, redundancy, and capacity options, designed to support a variety of applications. Table 1 summarizes the capabilities of Ciprico's disk arrays.
Users can select an array which best fits their application.
Summary High bandwidth applications require high sustained data transfer rates under all operating conditions. RAID storage technology, while offering differing methodologies for a variety of applications, supports the performance and redundancy required in real-time applications. Of the various RAID levels, RAID-3 is the only one which provides high data transfer rate under all operating conditions, including after a drive failure.
