Easy to Configure and Manage
Managing RAID is simple with RAID EzAssistTM and Global Array ManagerTM (GAM). RAID EzAssist, Mylex’s BIOS-resident software and utilities package, enables you to configure your RAID system through automated menus, or take advantage of customizable menus. GAM’s RAID management utilities let you remotely monitor and manage RAID subsystems online, using industry standard protocols.
No matter where you are, Global Array Manager alerts you of any problems via e-mail, pager, fax or through the launch of an application.
Data Availability
AcceleRAID 352 supports RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5, 10, 30, 50 and JBOD. Ensure maximum data protection with ECC cache, supporting 32MB or 64MB DIMM memory. Other features such as hot spare and automatic rebuild allow the server to keep the storage subsystem online when a drive fails.
AcceleRAID 352 RAID controllers offer many fault tolerance features, as well as functions to ease setup and storage management. Immediate RAID Availability (background initialization) enables other setup tasks to be performed while the drives are being initialized
