Direct Attached SATA Storage System

Overview
The NS-RS3160SA represents the pinnacle of hybrid Serial ATA technology. NS-RS3160SA opens the door to the world of high performance comput ing by integrating
emerging SATA technologies with next generat ion interface connectivity. Specifically designed to address the chal lenges of high impact /high volume storage requirements, NS-RS3160SA yields superior performance that of fers a new level of applicat ion possibilities. NSRS3160SA
cont inues the Network Synthesis tradition by
del ivering a solut ion that raises the bar in reliability,
funct ionality and affordability.

Professional Grade Performance

With two Ultra320 SCSI channels or two 2Gb SFP Fibre ports, the NS-RS3160SA provides increased reliability and funct ionality critical to a company’s IT infrastructure. NSRS3160SA includes a cutting edge 64-bit RAID architecture which maximizes the Serial ATA disk throughput potential Making the system an ideal solution for professional storage appl icat ions such as Disk-to-disk backup, image processing, nearl ine storage, data centers, database servers, media asset management libraries and shared SAN networks.

High Data Availability
The NS-RS3160SA offers a wide range of RAID settings including 0, 1 (0+1), 3, 5, 30, 50 and JBOD. Support for mmultiple array configurations are included to allow added flexibility ensuring your investment will be in use years down the line. Drive failure detection, automatic drive rebuild, hot spare assignment and background rebuild, make it possible for users to monitor and address system conditions. Dynamic On-line RAID expansion allows addi t ional capacity to be added without total system downtime, adding piece of mind knowing your data is protected at all time..

Storage Management
The NS-RS3160SA can be completely configured in minutes using the secure front control panel, or through a standard NS-RS232 interface that allows administrators to configure then password protect to eliminate potential security risks. As a benefit the NS-RS3160SA offers an optional management software that includes the essential tools required to manage and moni tor your NSRS3160SA.

Controls and Indicators
A comprehensive LCD control panel facilitates the setup process and lets users reconfigure the system as their needs change. LED based indicators provide easy visual moni toring and system status at a glance. The NSRS3160SA also provides an audible alarm in the event of a component failure.
