Fibre to SATA 24 bay Galaxy HDX2


24 bay Galaxy HDX2 now has SAS JBOD expansion

  • RAID 6 Dual Parity Support…allows a rebuild to continue even when a bad block is found during rebuild
  • Varied Drive Configurations…24 Drive bays  support 500GB, 750GB and 1TB SATAll drives
  • Huge Drive Capacities…up to 24TB of raw capacity per RAID enclosure with the new 1000GB SATAll disk drives
  • Increase in Performance…dual controller Galaxy HDX2 has over 720MB/S benchmark results supports the highest bandwidth applications
  • Increased  Fibre Host Connections…failover multiipath and clustering options allow numerous Hosts to connect to the Galaxy
  • Enhanced Media Scan and Error Handling…keeps the RAID working when there are degraded or damaged hard drives
  • Embedded SNMP, Email Event Notification…firmware based event monitor sends error info to RAID administrator
  • Embedded Management and Utilities…flexible configuration of RAID LUNs, remote monitoring of RAID conditions
  • 24 bay Add-on Chassis allows Growth… 16 bay SAS JBOD add-on chassises gives the Galaxy HDX2 24 bay growth to over 88TB of RAID Storage
