1.1.1 Product Introduction
This chapter briefly introduces the A16E-G2130-4 iSCSI-to-SATA-II
storage subsystem. The A16E subsystem comes with four (4) GbE host
ports capable of large I/O transfers over iSCSI packets.
Infortrend’s iSCSI storage
supports network initiators
compatible with the IETF iSCSI
standard (RFC 3720) with the
following functionalities:

Internet SCSI (iSCSI) protocols are embedded in firmware and I/Os are
rapidly processed via dedicated algorithms. The iSCSI storage is built
around reliable hardware and sophisticated RAID technologies. I/O requests
are packaged and transmitted over local area networks (LANs), wide area
networks (WANs), or the Internet using the existing networking hardware
and thus the total cost of ownership is reduced. With the help of the
networking flexibility, the subsystem is ideal for location-independent data
storage, backup, and retrieval.
The subsystem delivers extreme performance that results from the combined
performance of multiple disk drives and the level of data protection unseen
in other iSCSI storages. Featuring all standard RAID functionalities as other
EonStor subsystems, the A16E subsystem provides a reliable platform for
IT operations such as backup, data-mining, or strategic allocation.
This subsystem features a high-density architecture that supports up to
sixteen (16) hot swappable, SATA-II hard drives in a 3U-profile chassis.
The subsystem is powered by a RAID controller board featuring the latest
ASIC400, RAID6 ASIC as the XOR engine. The pre-installed 512MB DDR
RAM DIMM module can be upgraded to a 2GB capacity DIMM to support
complicated applications that hold numerous ID/LUN combinations.
