Infortrend A16F-G1A2 FC-to-SATA RAID Subsystem A16F-G1A2-M1 Leaflet

The EonStor A16F-G and the EonStor A16U-G single 
RAID controller subsystems are the latest in 
Infortrends highly acclaimed line of SATA RAID 
products.The EonStor subsystem combines either 
2Gbps Fibre (A16F-G) or Ultra 160 SCSI (A16U-G) host 
channels with 16 SATA drives in a single storage 
subsystem. This provides users with massive storage 
capacity in a safe subsystem environment where a high 
level of data availability is assured.The RAID controller 
embedded in the EonStor RAID controller subsystems 
ensures unprecedented data security for SATA RAID. The 
two available models (see table) in these series provide
users with versatile options enabling them to purchase a 
subsystem that will meet their needs.

. Two 2Gbps Fibre Host Channels; Transfer rate up to
  200MB/sec for each Or Two SCSI-160 Host Channels
. Full-featured single controller architecture
. Multiple Logical Drive configurations, each with a
  different RAID level
. Auto detection, auto rebuild, hot spare, and hot swap
  capability
. RAIDWatch: Browser-based GUI Manager on all major
  platforms
. Up to 1024 LUNs per host
. Intelligent Drive Handling: for managing bad blocks
  during rebuild and the manual Media Scan function for
  data maintenance
. Up to 64TB per LD
. Up to 1GB SDRAM
. Variable rebuild priority to meet a variety of applications

 
 

The SATA models are able to use up to 16 SATA drives in 
the subsystem. The availability of a separate dongle kit 
enables a user to install PATA drives into the subsystem 
providing a less expensive option for an economic yet 
reliable RAID subsystem. 

Architecture
Running on architecture trusted by the most demanding 
applications, the subsystem is capable of a high level of 
performance.  Its 64-bit separate-bus backbone is built 
around the dedicated XOR engines running at twice the 
data bus speed.  The calculation of parity and distribution of 
data can be optimized with the free association between 
individual logical arrays and different optimization modes.  

High Performance
Featuring a 64-bit 133MHz memory bus, the unparalleled 
bandwidth makes the subsystem's high data throughput 
more than sufficient for small-to-medium sized servers or 
workstations. Data can be distributed at the burst rate up to 
1066MB/sec The dual independent PCI bus design virtually 
eliminates all imminent bottlenecks on IO traffic, providing 
sufficient throughput for a wide range of applications on 
SCSI-based PCs, single-user workstations, NT, Linux, or 
Unix-based servers. These applications include disk-to-disk 
backup, Video on Demand, CCTV, and stream editing
