Galaxy HDX RAIDWatch Manager Centralize RAID Subsystem Management Wysiwyg GUI Design Installs Once, Runs Anywhere Three Authorized Access Levels Variety Event Notification Ways –Email, Fax, ICQ, MSN, SMS, LAN, and SNMP Traps Compatible with most popular computer OSes –Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Mac operating systems compatible with Java Runtime 1.4 or higher
10
Galaxy HDX to HDX2 - What’s New!! All FC goes to 4Gb backward compatible to 2Gb and 1Gb New 400MHZ ASIC is 50% faster than previous 266MHZ Hardware RAID6 Standard! Raidwatch Lite embedded in ASIC – No software to load! 750GB drives increases each enclosure by 50% 24 bay dual controller has 8 host connections~~ great for small SANs without a SWITCH
11
Why Hardware RAID6 ? Hardware RAID6 Up to 2 drive failures without data loss Reduces the risks of using large parity groups Minimal performance loss compared to RAID5 Correctly handles bad blocks during rebuild (unlike RAID5!)
12
HDX2 Benchmark Comparison Tests Single RAID Controller Tested (dual controller = ~ 2x) Shows I/O Improvement of up to 40% over previous HDX generation!
