IT
departments face an ever-changing set of application demands, cost
constraints and business requirements. As IT departments wrestle
with these divergent issues, they are looking for a new generation
of solutions to give them the tools they need, at the price they
can pay, for the requirements they have. The Ultamus RAID 1200 is
a new breed of storage that provides the advanced features, performance
and flexibility to make IT departments as efficient and dynamic
as the businesses tey support.
Performance,
Protection & Capacity
Each application runnng in the data center has specific performance,
protection and management requirements. The Ultamus RAID architecture
supports the latest SAS and SATA technologies to provide IT managers
the flexibility to adjust the performance of their storage. SAS
provides high performance for transactional, productions and web
applications. SATA drives offer high capacity at low cost for data
protection and disk-to-disk backup.
Continuous High Availability
Continuously available applications demand continuously available
data storage. Ultamus RAID delivers on htis requirement through
a teired approach to high availability:
- Reundant and hot swap RAID controllers that stay constantly
synchronized using dedicated SAS conections; redundant and hot
swao disk drives, power supplies and cooling systems, represent
the first teir of protection against unavailable data.
- RAID controller cache is battery-backed to ensure against
data loss in the event of a power failure. And since redundancy
enhances data availability, each battery-backed RAID controller
has two connections to the SAN to further ensure non-stop access.
- Hardware-accelerated RAID 6 preserves data intergrity and
non-stop access to data without reducing performance, should
more than one disk drive in a RAID set fail.
- Ultamus RAID Path Manager completes Overland's teired approach
to high availability by automatically anddynamically switching
application data access from a failed path to a working, redundant
path, regardless of the failing SAN component.
Single Pane of Glass Management
The Ultamus RAID Manager offers simple, intuitive, web-based "single
pane of glass" setup, configuration and management for all
your Ultamus RAID products, whereever in the world they may be located.
In addition, Ultamus RAID offers SNMP and SMI-S capabilities for
easy intergration into existing enterprise management frameworks.
Raising The Level of RAID
Ultamus RAID supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and the new, ultra-high
availability RAID 6. RAID 6 ensures data integrity even if two drives
fail simultaneously in the same RAID set.
Protecting Your Investment
Technological obsolescences forces too many storage products to
grow old and be retired before their time. Ultamus RAID delivers
investment protection by supporting the latest SAS and SATA drive
technologies, and offering up to 60 drives and more than 45 TB of
storage. In addition, Ultamus RAID's quad 4 GB/sec Fibre Channel
SAN connectivity, coupled with its ultra high-speed point-to-point
SAS architecture, gives you the foundation to deliver ore robust,
high-performance applications and meet end user service levels.
Business Continuance, Compliance &

need to meet the divergent business goals of high functionality,
lower cost and proper policy control. Every business needs to have
the right tools to protect their most unique asset, the information
