Aberdeen's XDAS features cutting-edge technology and
provides virtually unlimited storage capacity. As a
self-contained video storage solution, the XDAS RAID
combines affordable, high-capacity SATA II
enterprise-level drive technology with an
industry-leading 4Gb Fibre
Channel interface for —
premium fast — data
access.
The XDAS video storage solution provides up to 24 hot-swappable SATA II
enterprise-level disk drives — an astounding 24TB of
data — in a rack-optimized storage enclosure. Using Direct
Attached Storage (DAS) as a framework for building
efficient SATA RAID storage systems, the XDAS delivers a
scalable environment capable of delivering over 1PB
(Petabyte) of added storage capacity to a single server.

Petabyte?

storage-intensive tasks”

Scalable configurations
start with an 8-bay 2U up to 18 terabytes with the
24-bay 4U model utilizing 750GB drives. Bundled with an
Aberdeen
Stirling server,
AberNAS appliance or an
AberSAN iSCSI SAN solution, the XDAS delivers
additional scalable storage space of up to 54TB per SCSI
channel and 126TB per Fibre channel.
The
highly regarded XDAS RAID is hands-down the best value in external
RAID storage. XDAS RAID can be used with Windows-, Linux-, Solaris- or
NetWare-based servers or workstations as well.
Failure Is Not an Option
Digital video footage, large databases, media-rich
documents, hi-res images, uncompressed audio and scientific
data sets have one thing in common: terabyte-sized storage
needs. And while trying to keep up with the demand for more
and more storage space is a job in itself, you can’t lose
sight of the need to protect your digital content against
all contingencies — and still make that combination
available to users ’round the clock.
