 HP Netraid 4M with 128MB Cache 4 Channel Ultra3 SCSI RAID Controller.
High performance and unrivaled reliability for RAID systems in enterprise applications
Information systems professionals rely on HP NetRAID controllers to protect their business’ data and ensure fast access to stored information. The HP NetRAID-4M delivers unmatched RAID performance in enterprise systems. Taking performance to the next level
As your applications become even more data intensive, you need a top performer with the capacity to speed I/O throughput. The HP NetRAID-4M advances your performance to the next level with the latest RAID technology:
· Processor upgraded to 233 MHz Intel® StrongARM-110—the fastest RISC processor used on a RAID PCI controller
· Ultra3 SCSI technology—increases maximum throughput rate to 160MB/s per channel— twice the level of Ultra2 RAID controllers
· 64-bit, 33MHz PCI—designed to maximize performance of StrongARM-110 processor and new 64-bit systems
· Four channels—provide up to 640MB/s parallel SCSI bandwidth
Leading with unrivaled reliability and data protection
In an era of 24X7 performance demands, you can’t afford to keep customers and users waiting while you make upgrades or troubleshoot problems. The HP NetRAID-4M offers superior reliability and flexibility in protecting your data:
· Support for RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, and multi-level containers—so you can choose the appropriate level of RAID protection
· 128MB ECC-protected, transferable battery-backed cache—providing up to 72 hours of data protection on a removable daughter card
· Supports up to 48 total drives—allowing for up to 2.22TB of high availability storage
Ultra3 SCSI technology protects data and investments while optimizing transfers
Designed so you can upgrade your disk array controller without having to upgrade your hard drives, the HP NetRAID-4M protects your data and your investment, while optimizing transfer speeds:
· Backward compatible with Ultra2 and single-ended Ultra Wide SCSI hard drives
· Cyclical redundancy checking (CRC) adds an extra measure of error prevention for data transfers
· Domain validation—automatically tests and adjusts the SCSI transfer rate to ensure each drive communicates at highest rate possible
Simplified configuration and management tools
