The design of the system offers almost unlimited capacity and performance expansion in a Fibre Channel network, according to Active Storage CEO Alex Grossman. Low cost expansion is possible using a cost-effective Active Storage XRAID Expansion enclosure, doubling the capacity for up to 32TB of storage using a single set of redundant RAID controllers, he adds.
The system offers throughput up to 1570MB/second on standard direct-attached server benchmarks. Grossman says the Active Storage XRAID differs from competing systems by offering the industry’s first true native Mac OS X storage management suite, featuring Bonjour discovery, a Cocoa-developed monitoring application, a Cocoa Admin Application, a Dashboard Widget, and an iPhone management App.
Active Storage XRAID will begin shipping Oct. 27 in the USA, Canada and Mexico. It has a suggested retail priced of US$14,999. The Active Storage XRAID Expansion System has a suggested retail price of $12,999.
