External PCIe Storage Arrays
Based on the new PCI Express (PCIe) external expansion and
cable connection standard, the MV5100 series expands your
PC, server or workstations core logic PCIe bus outside of the
box, enabling the ultimate in direct attached storage. At a
raw speed of 20Gbps, overheads from protocol conversion
to serial protocols such as Fibre Channel, Inifiniband or
Ethernet are totally eliminated. Based on Ciprico’s robust RAIDCore host software stack, data is transferred directly from
the disk drive cache to the host CPU’s memory, eliminating any host cache interference problems often encountered with
traditional hardware accelerated RAID techniques.
Powered by Ciprico’s RAIDCore technology, MediaVault offers a greatly enhanced RAID feature set including on-line
capacity expansion, RAID level migration and flexible drive numbers and sizes. No longer is a user tied to a fixed number
of drives. For example, the MV5108 8-drive family with 8 drives populated may be upgraded to a full16 drive version by
simply exchanging the 8 port card with a16 port RAIDCore adapter and add additional drives one or more at a time
expanding both capacity and speed incrementally in line with project needs.
Robust Data Protection
and Management
Offering multiple levels of user selectable
mirrored or striped parity RAID, the highest level
of protection can be achieved. For the ultimate
desktop protection, the MV5100SR offer users
with the ability to use higher reliability SAS
drives and dual redundant power supplies.
A host based management utility with remote
management provides detailed configuration
and status monitoring options.
