AX series extends the benefits of networked storage—including

consolidation, automation, and advanced data protection—to a broader range of customers
by providing a cost-effective alternative to direct-attached storage. The AX150 combines the
advanced functionality and data protection features of the CLARiiON system’s industry-
leading RAID array architecture with high-capacity Serial ATA II (SATA II) disk drives to
deliver highly functional and cost-effective network storage.

Users who have previously relied on direct-attached and internal server-based storage
capacity to support Windows, NetWare, Linux, and Solaris servers can now take advan-
tage of a SAN (storage area network) or direct-attached storage solution that can scale
with their storage needs. Designed around ease of installation and use, with prepack-
aged software that includes a simplified Web-based array and storage management
suite, the AX150 fits uniquely with the requirements for small to medium-size businesses
and distributed workgroup environments.

The system features up to 12 SATA drives in a 2U (3.5-inch) rack-mountable enclosure.
Capacity can scale from three to 12 drives, and with 250 GB, 500 GB, and 750 GB disks,
provides from 750 GB up to 9 TB of total capacity. The AX150 supports a variety of server
platforms with either SAN or direct-attached connection.
