All of Xtore's SAS Disk Enclosures are designed in a modular base, complete with redundant and hot-swap I/O modules, fans, and power supplies for easy maintenance. The systems support in-band SES (SCSI Enclosure Service) with embedded SEP for error and status reporting. Each HDD has Activity and Failure LEDs to indicate the drive status. Firmware can be upgraded through in-band SAS ports or out-of-band serial port.
For highest performance and reliability, systems can be configured with dual I/O modules and highly reliable SAS HDDs providing a 1,200 x 2 MB/sec speed and dual-port failover capability. An application for a clustering transaction server can apply the above scheme with the best throughput and reliability. Customers looking for performance and not requiring redundancy can employ a single I/O module with SAS HDDs without sacrificing performance nor reliability. Applications such as HDD Video Editing can use pure SAS interface for on-line storage usage. For the lowest $/GB, customers can apply a single I/O module system installing large capacity SATA HDDs to achieve the best performance/cost investment. It is the best and most cost-effective near-line or backup storage available.
