The Adaptec SC4100 offers increased performance, flexibility, and reliability while minimizing the risk of migrating to a new technology. It delivers transfer rates of up to 320 MByte/sec per bus, and incorporates a number of additional features to ensure data integrity, improve bus utilization, and increase speeds. Incorporating PCI based RAID into the solution offers an additional layer of reliability and delivers increased transfer rates.
To ensure full compatibility and support, Adaptec drives are required in all Adaptec external storage JBOD and RAID enclosures. These Adaptec drives are available at competitive prices through Adaptec’s authorized distributors.
SCSI Reliability and Performance
The Adaptec SC4100 offers increased performance, flexibility, and reliability while minimizing the risk of migrating to a new technology. The Adaptec SC4100 delivers transfer rates of up to 320 MByte/sec per bus, and incorporates a number of additional features to ensure data integrity, improve bus utilization, and increase speeds. Incorporating PCI based RAID into the solution offers an additional layer of reliability and delivers increased transfer rates.
Density and Investment Protection
Each system supports up to 12 drives or 3.6 TByte in a dense 2U form factor (using 300 GByte drives). The Adaptec SC4100 incorporates a passive midplane and features environmental monitoring, hot-swappable and redundant power and cooling modules with dual inputs and disk drives, eliminating any single point of failure. The SC4100 will support 640 MByte/ sec aggregate bandwidth in split bus mode (the default setting).
The system is downward compatible to Ultra2 SCSI. Enclosure status is available in-band (SES or SAF-TE). Visual and audible alarms and temperature monitoring provide timely alert of potential problems, facilitating pre-emptive intervention.
Innovative Modular Architecture
The Adaptec SC4100 is based on the Adaptec advanced Flexible Storage Architecture (FSA). A modular, state-of-the-art design, FSA enables users to optimize storage solutions quickly and economically to meet changing application requirements by adding component "building blocks." The result is a universal solution for enterprises seeking flexible storage systems that address current and future needs, as well as unexpected changes.
Comprehensive Storage Management
Designed for Adaptec JBOD storage systems, Adaptec Storage Examiner is an easy-to-use GUI-based tool that allows administrators to monitor subsystem performance, capacity, and health, and to download the latest firmware revisions.
Worldwide Service and Interoperability Testing
Adaptec helps ensure the performance and availability of your storage with a flexible support program - from telephone assistance to on-site maintenance - tailored to meet your needs. Adaptec works closely with industry leaders, testing various technologies and products to ensure seamless interoperability.
