High Availability
Promise VTrak E-Class is a family of intelligent, dual controller, SAS/SATA based storage arrays 
that fundamentally changes storage economics from purchase and set up to operation and 
upgrades. Four 3Gb SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) x4 host interface ports per controller provide a 
reliable, high-performance alternative to Ultra SCSI 320 storage applications. Each standard 3U 
19” rack unit supports up to 16 off-the-shelf 3.5” SAS or SATA 3Gb/s drives.  Attach up to four 
SAS JBODs to deliver 80 drive bays of direct attached storage.
Simple and Familiar Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
Direct Attached Storage has remained a favorite of SMB operations worldwide. Easy to 
configure and familiar even to novice system administrators, SAS inherits all of the DAS 
attributes while leaving its limitations far behind.  With advanced multi-pathing capabilities, 
cascade support and full redundancy, the VTrak E-Class goes where parallel SCSI products 
could not reach
 
No single point of failure
This enterprise-class, cable-less system design includes fully redundant, hot-swappable 
controllers, power and cooling units.  All system components are constantly monitored using 
industry standard protocols to ensure continuous operation in case of failure or component 
malfunction. Dual active-active, failover/failback RAID controllers provide redundant data paths 
to further help ensure availability.
RAID 6 
RAID 6 (double parity) delivers the highest level of reliability and data protection in a cost-
effective solution.  As the capacity of storage arrays increases, so does the risk of encountering 
unrecoverable read errors with single parity RAID levels. RAID 6 can handle double drive 
failures, thereby providing greater protection against data loss. This also dramatically reduces 
the risk of catastrophic data loss during RAID rebuilds.
Easy to install and manage
The VTrak line features Promise’s embedded browser based management interface, WebPAM 
PROe, eliminating the need to install additional software.  All VTrak systems on the network 
can be configured and monitored using a single, easy-to-manage interface through an out-of-
band Ethernet port.  By using industry-standard management protocols, Promise simplifies 
integration with third-party management applications.
Service and Support
Every VTrak is backed by the Promise 3-Year limited warranty with 24/7 telephone and email 
support (Americas & EMEA). When our support confirms a failure in the field, advanced 
replacement parts are always available to eliminate down time.
