Seamless merging of the RAID management into system 
management
The RAID concept (Redundant Array of Independent 
Disks) refers to several independent hard disks 
which form a large logical drive when switched 
together. 
Redundancy information is calculated from 
several data blocks (except for RAID 0) and saved 
distributed to the individual hard disks. Your 
operating system no longer accesses the individual 
hard disks, but the array.
The actual objective of the RAID concept is to 
increase availability and prevent downtimes in the 
event of a hard disk failure. However, the theoretical 
security of the RAID concept is only as good as 
the RAID controller used. Benefit from the Fujitsu 
RAID controllers where technology, experience and 
practical implementation all ensure the security that 
your company needs in the event of an emergency.
 
PRAID EP400i / EP420i
The Fujitsu RAID ControllerPRAID EP400i with 8 
ports sets new speed and data security standards for 
internal storage drives. The RAID stack is based on 
the LSI MegaRAID® and offers high data throughput, 
a comprehensive fault tolerance function and 
user-friendly management options. Moreover, the 
Controller management is integrated seamlessly 
into the Fujitsu server management concept. All 
controller functions are supported by the Fujitsu 
ServerView RAID Manager. The PRAID EP400i is 
designed for backward compatibility with 3Gbit/s 
SAS as well as with 6Gbit/s and 3Gbit/s SATA hard 
drives. Regardless of the drive speed, it delivers 
significant performance improvements in both 
read and write applications. Due to the support of 
64-bit addressing, a robust set of RAID features 
and demanding error tolerance functions the 
controller provides high RAID performance and data 
availability. Powerful online management service 
programs (Fujitsu ServerView RAID Manager), 
which are simple to operate and quick to install, 
provide the administrator with unparalleled 
flexibility and access to the arrays. The RAID 
controller supports all of the important RAID levels 
including RAID 6 and 60. The optional flash battery 
backup (FBU) combined with TFM module ensures 
the integrity of the data stored in the cache on the 
RAID controller in case of a power outage. In this 
event, the data will be copied to a non-volatile 
flash memory (TFM). The FBU provides a low-priced 
alternative to an uninterruptible power supply 
(UPS) and, when compared to battery backup up 
units (BBU), enables a long-term, secure store of 
data and better serviceability. Always select FBU 
and TFM module in combination.
