- 4Gb Fibre to SATA-2 -     - U320 SCSI to SATA-2 -     - Solution Ready -    

The XE1200 SATA-2 RAID Series are designed to offer high performance, high reliability and are much more cost-effective in comparison with Fibre to Fibre, Fibre to SCSI and/or SCSI to SCSI RAID subsystems. XE1200 RAID systems support 4Gb Fibre Channel host or dual Ultra-320 SCSI host interface connections and utilises cost-effective SATA-2 disk drives with a simplified storage setup and management process which make the product line ideal for small to mid-sized companies and departments.

Outstanding Performance
The XE1200 utilises the latest high performance Intel Xscale 80321 processor and intelligent cache system which supports up to 1GB of internal memory for data caching. This enables the host computer to simultaneously distribute multiple requests to the connected SATA-2 hard drives with high speed parallel data transfer.
The RAID Array offers web configuration and system diagnostic monitoring via an onboard standard Ethernet connection to simplify the process of remotely configuring/reconfiguring and monitoring the RAID subsystem
The XE1200 supports up to five internal RAID arrays/RAID sets of the same or different RAID levels for multi-application support.
The Array utilises an advanced 64-bit PCI-X bus system architecture
The XE1200 utilises a proprietary ASIC chip within the RAID Controller to support the high performance demands of RAID level 6
The unique RAID Array management firmware utilises multi-tasking real-time kernel technology to enable higher efficiency in data transfer.
Firmware-embedded SMTP manager monitors all system events and the system user can select either single or multiple user alerts to be sent via plain text e-mails.
"Single drive per independent channel" architecture of the XE1200 IDE RAID system not only provides high data throughput per channel but also eliminates overhead disk multitasking in order to increase the data transfer.

High Availability
Advanced algorithms provide RAID levels 0,1, 3, 5, 0+1 & 6 options. The user can benefit from either the performance and availability of RAID 0+1 or the capacity and economy of RAID 5 and RAID 6.
The hot-swap redundant power/cooling fan systems are able to tolerate a mains failure without interrupting or taking off-line user/client services.
Online capacity expansion and RAID level migration simultaneously
Instant RAID storage availability and background initialization
Hot swappable disk drives, cooling fans & power supplies allows easy swap out actively online of faulty components without loss of client or user services due to down-time.
SATA-2 drives in a single disk per channel configuration lowers the risk of failure.
Hot spare for stand-by disk drive. When a hard disk drive error occurs on any of the hard drives, this online hot spare disk drive will automatically & intelligently take over the failed disk drives data storage with zero downtime of the RAID system.
Automatic drive failure detection & automatic online drive rebuilding enables you to replace the hard drive without having to initiate any complicated and time-consuming storage rebuild process. The XE1200 RAID system will transfer the data into the new/replaced hard drives automatically.
Independent Operating Systems. No Matter if it is Windows Me/98/XP, Windows 2000/2003, Widows NT, NOVELL, UNIX, Red Hat LINUX or Apple Mac; The XE1200 RAID series is 100% compatible and transparent

User Friendly
The XE1200 RAID system provides AN extremely user-friendly system set-up. The user can even initiate a RAID as RAID level 5 by a few very simple steps
Control panel GUI interface includes LCD display and four function push-button controls
Monitor Utility, RS-232 emulation terminal providing a text-based menu-driven configuration interface.
RAID Controller embedded software to drive GUI RAID management utilities

High Reliability
Aluminum fabrication for the hot-swap disk canisters for heat dissipation and emissions protection.
Cableless design utilises solid-state PCB and connectors instead of a cable design to improve the signal integrity/quality and the system reliability.
High quality power system; 350 watt capacity hot-swap redundant load sharing power modules with the PFC function.
Switch device on the disk canisters to cut off the DC power during the removal process of drives to protect the SATA-2 disk drives

Greater Capacity
The XE1200 supports up to 12 drives, allowing you to configure systems up to 9 Terabytes with the latest high capacity 750GB SATA-2 disk drives.
