Globalstor sets new milestones apart from the competition with the introduction of the Andromeda. This new streamline designed 3U 16 bay chassis has the ability to store up to 32TB of raw storage. In addition the Andromeda incorporates the intel™ i80331 64-bit RISC microprocessor that delivers blazing performance across cutting edge SATA II disk technology via traditional SCSI or Fibre Channel Host connections.
The Andromeda was designed with “robustness” in mind and by innovating new levels of Raid technology you can rest assured to get the utmost uptime and availability of your data, yet still incorporating our Plug-N-Play RAID technology making it more than ever “simple” to use. Compare that to today’s conventional disk array competitors that seem to be only designed with the experienced IT professional in mind and you get a next generation SATA II compliant array that has responded to the needs of all end-users alike!
Features
The system has support for Windows, Macintosh, Solaris and Unix.
The 3U High-density cutting edge design with a locking front bezel to protect against accidental removal of disk drives and or intrusion.
Using SM ARTCor technology the Andromeda supports Disk-self-test, Disk-scrubbing and Disk-cloning delivering unparallel data integrity and reliability.
Supported RAID Levels are JBOD, 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5, 30, 50, 6, 6+ and NRAID that
will fulfill multiple data requirements.
The Andromeda allows for three points of accessibility to data front panel LCD:
- RS-232
- C-LINE Terminal emulation
- Browser based GUI
The Andromeda also supports event notification via on-board alarm:
