Performance-based, hot-swap SATA drives provide an exceptional platform for low cost, high-density storage with proven reliability and unparalleled price per gigabyte. The Fibre Channel host interface provides complex SAN and network connectivity support. Performance delivers a strong showing of up to 400MB/sec sustained throughput. By taking advantage of the high capacity of SATA drives, the ORION system delivers the highest capacity levels available. ORION solutions can also be configured to deliver massive storage to capacity-hungry applications such as disk-to-disk backup, media archiving, video surveillance and compliance storage.

Robust, Flexible Platform

The ORION incorporates advanced SAN and cluster support features such as advanced LUN Masking and Mapping. With support for 256 Logical Drives (LUNs) per array and 32 LUNs per physical drive, the ORION delivers a robust, flexible platform for storage and server consolidation and advanced costs savings. By sharing storage resources among multiple servers, users can take advantage of high availability configurations and employ resource sharing for cost effective storage solutions that maximize capacity utilization. Each ORION building block supports up to 32 Fibre Channel hosts connecting to and utilizing capacity on the same system without security breaches or sharing conflicts.
