Galaxy Aurora LSRorke Data’s new Aurora LS (Lite Speed) combines the highest sustained performing RAID 6 engine at the lowest cost per GB in the industry. The Aurora LS was specifically designed for the video post production market with a unique set of features that can not be found in any other RAID today. With up to 8 host ports of 8GBit Fibre Channel and sustained through-put up to 1200MBs/sec, Aurora LS is the RAID for next generation post facilities. Aurora‘s latest advanced features include major improvements to view and analyze performance. Graphs show the Aurora’s RAID usage , and datarate charts can be viewed per host/user. Internal pre-emptive failure information is gathered using SMARTS on each RAID disk drive and is also viewable. Other analysis tools graphically show marginally slow performing disk drives based on the read/write times so they can be replaced and improve RAID bandwidth performance. |
