Installation and setup are a breeze, allowing the IPBank E-Series 1420e iSCSI appliance to be up and running in about 15 minutes after it is unpacked from the box.

Plus, this dedicated iSCSI appliance can be easily expanded to capacities up to 19.2 TeraBytes by connecting it to 1 to 3 Enterprise™ 16320 RAID subsystems. Whether you are building your company's network from the ground up, or just need to add more storage to your existing network, the IPBank E-Series 1420e iSCSI appliance is an ideal solution for diverse environments.

RAID TECHNOLOGY
The IPBank™ E-Series brings new levels of reliability through patented switched architecture that exceeds SCSI and Fibre loop storage systems. Both SCSI and Fibre loop exhibit a problem commonly known as the "Christmas tree light syndrome" whereby any single drive failure can bring the entire storage system down. In this scenario RAID features fail to make the data available. The IPBank™ E-Series brings switching to the drive. Because each drive on the array is electrically and mechanically isolated from each other, any drive failure will simply make that drive unavailable and the rest of the storage system remains undisturbed. In addition, IPBank E-Series implements levels of Advanced Data Protection (ADP) that further protect you from data loss. In ADP Level-1 all drive commands are checked to insure that no command corruption has taken place over the drive interface. IPBank E-Series also uses a Web-based storage management utility notifies you of drive failures via e-mail and audible alerts, providing a simple interface for managing your storage. IPBank E-Series also delivers advanced features like hot swap and hot spare so that the replacement of a failed drive can be accomplished without disrupting the operation of the entire system.
