Promise Technology VTrak E310sD VTE310SS Merkblatt

With an eye on enterprise features at a price that even a small to medium businesses can 
afford, the Promise VTrak E-Class fundamentally changes storage economics from purchase 
and set up to operation and upgrades. The flexibility to use Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and 
Serial ATA (SATA) drives and the open architecture of the VTrak E-Class lets businesses use 
the components that are best suited to their application needs. All of the systems in the 
E-Class series also share the same firmware for ease of qualification.  Promise’s WebPAM

PROe provides an OS independent, centralized GUI for comprehensive data management.  
Promise  stands  behind  all  of  its VTrak  products  with  a  24x7  technical  support,  3  year 
limited warranty and an advanced replacement program.

Four 3Gb SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) x4 host interface ports per controller provide highly 
reliable, high-performance, price-conscious primary storage solution for first deployments 
as well as customers upgrading from a traditional Ultra SCSI 320 storage solution. Choose 
the E-Class system that fits your requirements today with the confidence that you have 
the  flexibility  to  change  the  host  interface  simply  by  changing  the  controllers  and  also 
increase your available storage by adding JBOD systems from our VTrak J-Class and scale 
to meet your future needs. In addition, one of the key advantages of the SAS technology 
implemented in the VTrak E-Class and J-Class is the ability to connect either SAS or SATA 
drive  with  the  same  interface. This  simplifies  data  management  by  allowing  businesses 
to easily expand SAS storage as their critical business transactions increase and migrate 
less-accessed data to SATA storage. Sharing most common FRUs between products also 
eliminates spare parts SKUs and simplifies field replacement. In addition, with the VTrak 
E310s there are four SAS ports that will allow you to connect or cascade multiple E310s 
units without the added cost of a SAS switch

With the VTrak E310s Promise has dramatically narrowed the gap between simple fault 
tolerance and No Single Point of Failure.  The E310s incorporates an intelligent, enterprise-
level, cable-less system design which includes fully redundant, hot-swappable controllers, 
power and cooling units, which are all field replaceable. All system components are con-
stantly monitored to ensure continuous operation in case of disk failure or a control-
ler, power supply, or cooling unit malfunction. Dual active-active, failover/failback RAID 
controllers provide redundant data paths to further help ensure availability.

The VTrak E310s features an embedded management software, WebPAM PROe, that elim-
inates the need to install additional software on the network. All VTrak systems in your 
network can be configured and monitored through a single, easy-to-manage web-based 
graphic user interface. The software works through the VTrak system’s Ethernet port 
— locally, across a LAN, or across an internet connection — to configure and monitor 
one or multiple VTrak system(s) and provide error reporting through pop-up messages, 
event logging, or email notification. In the event of a controller failure, Promise’s manage-
ment software will also seamlessly failover and failback. The VTrak family also simplifies 
integration with third-party management applications using industry-standard SNMP and 
CIM protocols.
