Technology Overview

Xserve RAID

Deploying Xserve RAID

Exponential growth in the creation and distribution of digital content is driving

demand for high-capacity storage solutions. Large databases, digital video footage,

immense scientic data sets, and expanding archives of nancial information and

employee records require terabytes of storage. At the same time, data protection

and near-instant data access are crucial to many organizations. In response to these

pressing requirements, customers have been forced to make tradeos among data

protection, performance, and capacity—or spend hundreds of thousands of dollars

on high-end storage solutions that combine these features.

Xserve RAID is a revolutionary storage product that eliminates the need for these

tradeos. With massive capacity and high-availability features previously available only

in much more expensive storage systems, Xserve RAID oers unmatched versatility

at an unprecedented price. What’s more, it meets the most demanding performance

requirements, delivering a sustained throughput of up to 380MB/s—the highest of

any RAID system in its class.

These robust capabilities make Xserve RAID ideally suited

for protecting mission- and business-critical data, yet it’s aordable enough for near-

line storage deployments and fast enough for media production environments.

Compared with leading storage products, Xserve RAID oers the lowest cost per gigabyte.

At the same time, it packs more gigabytes in less space—up to 10.5TB in a 3U enclosure.

Xserve RAID Applications

Whether in all-Apple or heterogeneous environments, Xserve RAID can t into existing

storage networks or provide a foundation for new deployments. The industry-standard

SFP-based Fibre Channel interface supports point-to-point, loop, and fabric topologies

for integrating Xserve RAID into Fibre Channel storage infrastructures. In addition, a

platform-independent design and Java-based administrative tools make setup and

monitoring easy from virtually any Internet-connected computer. Certied by leading

storage network manufacturers and qualied to work with popular operating systems,

Xserve RAID is a exible solution for a full range of storage applications.

Xserve RAID: A unique blend of features

A robust feature set and highly exible

deployment options make it possible

to use Xserve RAID in a wide range of

environments, including:

• Mission-critical data storage deployments,

where high availability is paramount at

virtually any cost

• Business-critical data storage deployments,

which require high capacity and high

availability at a reasonable cost

• Near-line archive deployments, which

seek a balance of high capacity, scalability,

and reasonable throughput at the lowest

possible cost

• Rich media storage deployments, which

require superfast throughput, data protection,

large capacity, and a reasonable cost
