FlexSAN™ iSCSI RAID Array FS-200 Series

iSCSI RAID Array Provides Tiered SAS Storage & SATA Storage
Supports up to 8 hosts with iSCSI and Fibre Channel Ports

FlexSAN High Availability RAID Array FlexSAN is a high availability RAID array with redundant failover controllers and hot-swap redundant components that provide true fault tolerance. It supports both SAS storage disk drives for high performance and SATA storage disk drives for high capacity and low cost in the same enclosure. With a popular iSCSI RAID interface, the FlexSAN connects easily to any IP network and can be installed quickly by most network administrators. Fibre channel interfaces are available for compatibility with existing infrastructure and higher performance.

FlexSAN offers up to 11.25 TB of storage easily managed with the web-based FlexSAN Storage Manager and supports up to 4 iSCSI and 4 Fibre Channel direct-attached hosts. For small-to-medium sized businesses and departmental or remote site environments, the FlexSAN attaches easily to any IP network and is a cost-effective alternative to expensive Fibre Channel SANs.

		Features

		FLEXIBILITY
		•	Choose Fibre Channel for high speed applications such as Exchange, SQL, and rich media or the low cost iSCSI RAID Array connectivity for web servers and back-up. Or get the flexibility of both, in the same enclosure.

		•	With the FS-200 attached to your servers, you can build a Windows or Linux storage cluster, or create an IP/SAN.

		•	Integrated snapshot capability enables point-in-time copies for backup and restore. With iSCSI RAID and FC SAN functionality, the FS-200 is a versatile SATA storage & SAS storage solution for all SMBs or enterprise departmental requirements.

		HIGH AVAILABILITY
		•	FlexSAN provides best-in-class fault-tolerance with redundancy, active-active failover, hot-swap capability of all major components, and RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 data protection. No single point of failure.

		EASE OF USE & REMOTE MANAGEMENT
		•	The FS-200 includes easy-to-use web based remote management software that simplifies configuration and storage management. FlexSAN Storage Manager includes automatic e-mail notification of failures, historical alert logs, and more.
