苹果Xserve RAID储存设备 支援Windows及Linux平台 专为搭配苹果优质 Xserve 系列服务器所设计的精巧工艺设计之作，具有尖端技术、一切完备的储存方案，可在一个机架式储存设备中连接多达 14 部热抽换 Apple Drive Module 磁盘模块 — 其惊人数据量可达 7 TB。 Xserve RAID 具备了苹果计算机所设计的革命性架构，结合了价廉物美、容量庞大的 Ultra ATA 磁盘技术，再加上创新的 2Gb Fibre Channel 接口，不但提升数据传输的可靠度，且速度快得令人不敢置信。Xserve RAID 堪称外接磁盘阵列产品中价值最高的精品。Xserve RAID 除了适合搭配 Mac OS X Server 使用之外，也可以跟 Windows、Linux 或 NetWare 服务器共同运作。 高产能、低成本您不妨算一算：在世上所有 Fibre Channel 接口的储存设备中，Xserve RAID 的每一 GB 平均成本是最低廉的，即使跟大多数的 SCSI 储存设备比也不逊色。Xserve RAID 提供了高达 7TB 的高效能备援储存空间，每一 GB 的平均成本不到 2 美元，相较于 Dell、HP、Sun、IBM 等各家产品的平均储存成本，不过是九年一毛。IT 预算无上限的时代已经过去，采购信息设备的每一笔费用都必须花在刀口上，因此，作为一位 IT 专业人士，您自然得要锱铢必较；但是，成本可以省，功能却不可以省。单就这一点来看，您就一定会喜欢 Xserve RAID 不仅能为您存放大量资料、也能为您节省大量金钱的实用设计。 Xserve RAID 工作原理概述每一部 7200 RPM 硬盘都连接专属的 Ultra ATA 资料通路，藉以减少传输瓶颈，且充份运用 400MB/s 的 Fibre Channel 连接计算机主机频宽。这表示，当您在 Xserve RAID 上加装磁盘驱动器时，其在容量和效能方面都会同时提升。在这组产业标准的 42U 机架上，可容纳高达 98TB 的资料；依此类推，您几乎可以无止境的扩充工作所需的储存容量*。 永不出错数字视讯影片、大型数据库、多媒体文件、高分辨率影像、未压缩的声音以及科学运算资料之间，都有一个共通点：它们都需要以 TB 为单位的储存空间。然而，除了追求似乎毫无止境的储存空间之外，数字资料的安全防护需求、以及让使用者随时使用资料内容，也都是不容忽视的工作。 快速存取数字资料为了让您不需购买奇贵无比、又难找到的 Fibre Channel 硬盘机，苹果开发了一个非常创新的设计：其设计了一种高速的 Ultra ATA 转接 Fiber Channel 系统架构，让您只要花费非常低的成本，就可以享受优越的数据传输效能与稳定性。 Xserve RAID 是专为不必停机的运作方式所设计的，让您可以随时取用重要的资料，不必担心服务中断。由于热插拔式电源供应器和冷却模块都有备援，所以即使其中一组发生故障，系统也能持续运作。所有的活动组件都经过模块化设计，可以在几秒钟之内替换完成；不需要任何工具，也不需要停机检修。 由您监控控制芯片每一组 Xserve RAID 控制芯片都有一个负责「环境管理」的辅助处理器，以便监控和管理 RAID 磁盘驱动器组和机箱内的状态。当然，掌控全局的是您，而不是您被计算机掌控。RAID Admin 工具程序可以利用环境管理辅助处理器，实时建立多组 RAID，让您立刻将新增的储存空间上线使用，不需要等待初始化动作。而且由于 RAID Admin 工具程序完全以 Java 语言写成，所以您可以透过 Internet，由任何地方监控或管理您的磁盘阵列。 走动式管理现在，在机房现场管理服务器更简单了。如果您属于那种事必躬亲、经常到处走动来了解实际状况的 IT 主管，一定会喜欢 Xserve RAID 的系统状况视觉响应。它正面面板上的指示灯，可以同时显示电源冷却、RAID 控制器、以及机箱锁等组件的状况；此外，每一组 Apple Drive Module 磁盘模块上的指示灯，也都会标明目前的工作状态。在正面面板的中央，有一排共 46 个蓝色 LED 灯号，代表各个通往服务器主机的资料通路；Fibre Channel 接口的指示灯则会显示联机状态，您只要看一眼，就可以知道系统是否正常运作。 永不打烊的资料储存中心藉由磁盘驱动器、电源供应器、以及冷却模块等可以热插拔的备援组件，Xserve RAID 所能带给您的是全天候的防护与服务。对于任何可能发生的意外状况，Xserve RAID 皆已做好万全准备。 抽换时不必停机 Xserve RAID 配备了硬件 RAID 控制芯片、以及苹果设计的模块机构，所以它的磁盘驱动器都具备了真正的热插拔功能，让失效的磁盘模块可以被快速移除，而不需承担损失资料或被迫停机维修的风险。有了 Xserve RAID，即使硬盘发生问题，当更换的硬盘藉由备援或对偶检查（parity check）资料功能重新建立原有内容的同时，系统依然能够照常运作。 SMART 资料 Xserve RAID 的硬件与远程管理软件彼此合作，为您提供领先计算机业界的远程监视与警告功能。RAID 控制芯片会自动从每一部硬盘上读取 SMART（Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology）资料。SMART 资料能帮助您实行预防措施，让磁盘驱动器回报目前状况，并让操作系统提醒管理者相关的潜在问题，让您有机会及时替换可能故障的磁盘驱动器。这项功能的目的，就是保持系统运作永不停息。
Meet the elegantly engineered companion to Apple’s highly regarded Xserve server hardware. This cutting-edge, self-contained storage solution holds up to 14 hot-swappable Apple Drive Modules — a phenomenal 7TB of data — in a rack-optimised storage enclosure. Xserve RAID features a breakthrough Apple-designed architecture that combines affordable, high-capacity Ultra ATA drive technology with an industry-standard 2Gb Fibre Channel interface for reliable — and incredibly fast — data access. Xserve RAID is hands-down the best value in external RAID storage. Xserve RAID works well with Mac OS X Server, and you can use it with Windows-, Linux- or NetWare-based servers as well. High yield, low Cost Do the math: the gigabyte-per-dollar ratio of Xserve RAID is the best in the world for Fibre Channel storage and trumps most SCSI storage solutions as well. Xserve RAID offers up to 7TB of high-performance storage at under $2 per gigabyte — a fraction of the cost of storage from Dell, HP, Sun or IBM. The days of seemingly unlimited IT budgets are long gone — no more blank checks for digital asset management — so as an IT professional, you need to cut costs without cutting corners. For that reason alone, we think you’ll appreciate our pragmatic approach to help you save huge amounts of data — as well as a nice chunk of change. How Xserve RAID works, in a nutshell Each 7200-rpm hard drive connects to a dedicated Ultra ATA drive channel to eliminate bottlenecks and maximise the 400MB/s Fibre Channel host connection. This in turn means that as you add drives, Xserve RAID scales in both capacity and performance. And with an industry-standard 42U rack holding 98 terabytes of storage, you can keep adding drives for virtually unlimited storage.* Failure Is Not an Option Digital video footage, large databases, media-rich documents, hi-res images, uncompressed audio and scientific data sets have one thing in common: terabyte-sized storage needs. And while trying to keep up with the demand for more and more storage space is a job in itself, you can’t lose sight of the need to protect your digital content against all contingencies — and still make that combination available to users ’round the clock. Fast access to your digital assets Instead of following the ruinously expensive — and easily avoidable — industry practice of relying on Fibre Channel hard drives, Apple did something truly innovative: We designed and developed a high-performance Ultra ATA-to-Fibre Channel systems architecture that delivers superior performance and reliability at a much lower cost. Xserve RAID is designed for nonstop operation, with uninterrupted access to your critical data. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and cooling modules enable the system to keep running even if one module were to fail. All active components are modular and designed to be switched in and out of place in seconds — without tools and without interruption of service. You control the controllers Each Xserve RAID controller uses an environment management coprocessor to monitor and manage the RAID set and enclosure conditions. Naturally, you control the controllers, instead of the other way around. The RAID Admin utility uses the environment management coprocessor to build multiple RAID sets on the fly, enabling you to bring storage online instantly — with no waiting for initialisation. And since the RAID Admin utility is written entirely in Java, you can monitor and manage your RAID storage from anywhere on the Internet. Practice management by walking around Onsite management is even easier. Fact is, if you’re the kind of IT professional who likes to keep tabs on what’s going on in your domain by actually walking around and checking things out for yourself, you’ll love the way Xserve RAID provides continuous visual feedback on system status. Indicator lights on the front panel display status at a glance for power cooling, RAID controllers and enclosure lock, while LEDs on each Apple Drive Module signal drive activity. With 46 blue LEDs down the middle displaying activity levels for each host channel, and Fibre Channel indicators showing link status, you can verify a system’s health just by looking at it. Data storage that rocks around the clock With redundant and hot swappable components — like drives, power supplies and cooling modules — Xserve RAID gives you protection and availability any time, day or night. Xserve RAID is prepared for every contingency. Doesn’t stop while you swap Xserve RAID drives feature true hot-swapping capabilities that allow you to remove and replace a failed drive without losing data or interrupting service, thanks to the hardware RAID controller and the Apple-designed drive carrier. With Xserve RAID, the system continues to operate while the contents of the failed drive are rebuilt on a replacement drive, using redundant or parity information. SMART data Xserve RAID hardware and remote management software work together to provide industry-leading remote monitoring and alerting capabilities. The RAID controller automatically reads Self-Monitoring, Analysis, Reporting Technology (SMART) data from each hard drive. SMART data lets you take preemptive measures. It allows the drive to report its health, and enables the operating system to warn you of a pre-failure condition — and gives you an opportunity to replace the hard drive before a failure occurs. The goal? Uptime, all the time.
