ARI-600 Series

Shown Above: ARI-609

Greater Performance, Intelligence and Scalability for Diverse Workloads

With faster processors, redundant active/active controllers powered by latest ASIC and declustered RAID data protection with self-healing technology, and a robust operating environment, the ARI-600 Series delivers up to 740K IOPs performance, 12GB/s Sequential Read & 10GB/s Sequential Write throughput, and up to 6.72PB capacity. A 12Gb SAS backend allows for rapid capacity expansion.

ARI-600 Series system components are developed to work together seamlessly, making configuration, maintenance, and expansion simple. Its purpose-built modularity makes components interchangeable between systems and an intelligent, HTML5 web-based GUI makes management easy from anywhere. Plus, Self Sufficient Drive Restoration (SSDR) automatically renews drives in place, reducing human intervention and e-waste.

The ARI-600 Series comes in three form factor sizes, including 2U 12 bay 3.5”, 2U 24 bay 2.5” and 5U 84 bay 3.5”.

Ideal for high-performance computing, databases, security workloads, and more.

Included Features

Patent Cache Technology

Storage system leverages patent cache technology that instantly and simultaneously mirrors cache between RAID controllers, leading to significant performance improvements over traditional implementations.

Virtual Disk Pools

Virtual disk pools decouples the LUN from being restricted to a single VDisk. A volume’s data on a given LUN can now expand across all disk drives in a pool. When capacity is added to a system, the user is also getting a performance benefit of the additional spindles. Additionally this capability provides seamless capacity expansion; data automatically reflows to new drives and IOPs scales with additional storage.

Declustered RAID

Declustered RAID data protection with high performance I/O. Fastest rebuild times. No spares. Eliminates enclosure geometry restrictions. Allows mixed drive sizes and easy capacity expansion. Up to 128 drives per disk group. Works with SSD and HDD disk groups.

Thin Provisioning

The increase in the volume and velocity of high density data can cause storage costs to exceed available budgets without some prudent provisioning. With thin-provisioning capability, IT managers can dedicate available storage space to volumes only when actually needed and add storage capacity transparently to any application, also as needed. Thin-provisioning also enables LUN (volume) size to be configured independently of physical disk space and supports LUNs up to 128 TB.

Self Encrypting Drives

Available in 1.2TB small form factor (2.5”) or 4 TB large form factor (3.5”), these SED drives provide instant data destruction via cryptographic erase. In normal use, you do not need to maintain authentication keys (otherwise known as credentials or passwords) in order to access the drive’s data. The SED will encrypt data being written to the drive and decrypt data being read from it, all without requiring an authentication key from the owner.

Self Healing

Self Sufficient Drive Restoration (SSDR) renews errant drives to service in place, reducing e-waste, downtime, and human intervention – while increasing sustainability. Field-proven design with five nines (99.999%) availability.

Centralized Management Software

ARI virtualization storage arrays are easy to configure and manage with our intuitive web based interface, which provides storage setup and monitoring without the need for host-based software. Our GUI saves time with configuration and installation wizards, and schedulers.

Spin Down Technology

The ARI-600 Series also features energy-saving drive spin- down. With the addition of drive spin-down, mixed drive type support and dual protocol interfaces, users can now combine both high performance, high density primary volumes and secondary storage with different performance and energy usage profiles in the same physical unit.

Battery Free Cache Backup

Utilizing Echo Friendly technology, these systems have completely eliminated cache batteries, using instead super capacitors and flash memory to provide infinite cache backup during a power loss, while being environmentally friendly.

Optional Features

Features that are available as optional packaged licenses.

Automatic Drive Tiering

Offers an innovative and comprehensive view of high density storage management — store, back up and restore instantly. This technology overcomes the two major limitations found in most tiered storage systems today by automating the migration of data in real-time.

Remote Replication

Equipped with remote replication software, ARI-600 provides the easiest array-to-array remote replication solution on the market today, enabling disaster recovery protection and business continuity with support for up to 1000 snapshots per storage array. By providing centralized, array-level replication, Remote Replication offloads backup operations from critical application servers, and aids IT managers in complying with regulations such as the HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley acts.

VolumeCopy and SnapShot

The data protection and disaster recovery solution has optional licensing of SnapShot and VolumeCopy data protection software. With up to 1000 snapshots capability, the ARI-600 series offer necessary protection for business critical applications such as email, databases, and file sharing. ARI-600 series instantly takes volume snapshots, creating point-in-time backups that can be used to instantly restore your data after a system failure. In addition, VolumeCopy protects against disk failures.
