Use solid-state drives, high-performance SAS drives, or economical NL-SAS drives to tailor our solution to your needs as necessary. First-Class Performance, Functionality, and Versatility The VSTOR Vault product family is the next generation of affordable storage. With support for 12 Gbit SAS, 10GBASE-T Ethernet iscsi, and 16 Gbit Fibre Channel connectivity, VSTOR Vault helps you stay flexible. Retain the freedom of choosing the storage connectivity that helps your business grow best. The individual models also offer 8 GB of cache space per controller. If protecting data is a priority for your organization, simply combine VSTOR Vault storage with the backup features provided by the VSTOR and EMA product families in order to receive the best possible protection. The current generation of VSTOR Vault is characterized by high reliability, without sacrificing quality and performance. VSTOR Vault expansion enclosures scale remarkably well. 2U configurations support up to 192-disk drives 1, and 4U configurations support a maximum of 180-disk drives 1 in tight array configurations. 1 The standard configuration supports up to 120 HDDs. Support for 121-192 HDDs or 121-180 HDDs is a premium feature. Mass Storage Consolidation and Virtualization The VSTOR Vault 10GbE iscsi SAN is ideal for network storage consolidation and virtualization deployments containing up to 64 host servers. The 10GbE iscsi array series delivers high capacity and excellent performance while offering versatile options, which include a 2U 12- or 24-drive chassis, and a dense chassis that supports housing up to 60 hard drives in a small 4U footprint. Proven Fibre Channel-Based Network Storage The VSTOR Vault Fibre Channel array series is ideal for data intensive applications. Supporting up to 16 Gbit Fibre Channel, existing investments in Fibre Channel are protected with a solution that is both scalable and reliable.

MASS STORAGE AT ITS BEST Highly Available Mass Storage The VSTOR Vault SAS array series incorporates the latest 12 Gbit SAS technology into the VSTOR Vault mass storage product family. The VS3 12 Gbit SAS series is ideal for shared storage and virtualized environments. These arrays offer exceptional flexibility, scalability, and performance. Similar to the other models in the VSTOR Vault product family, the SAS series has chassis options for twelve and twenty-four drives, and a 4U dense array option supporting up to 60 drives. Models with 8 GB cache dualcontrollers can connect up to four highly available servers or eight non-redundant servers for balanced performance in mixed physical and virtualized environments. Performance The VSTOR Vault VS 1200-D, VS 1220-D, and the space-optimized VS 3060e-D dense enclosure are direct-attach 6 Gbit SAS storage solutions supporting 12, 24, or 60-drives. They can be connected to VSTOR and EMA appliances, as well as other server systems, using the integrated or supplied SAS controllers. The newer VSTOR Vault VS 1400-D and VS 1420-D models are modern direct-attach 12 Gbit SAS storage systems that offer the same connectivity options. Optionally available expansion enclosures supporting the same number of drives provide additional capacity for high-performance and data-intensive applications when you need it. Capacity The VSTOR Vault VS 3060e-D dense enclosure was optimized for space and was designed to scale. It seamlessly integrates with other VSTOR and EMA appliances, as well as all other rack-mount server systems. Its small footprint takes up less space and saves on power and cooling. Using just 4U, the VS 3060e-D can scale to 180 hard drives when used with a VS dense array, and up to 240 hard drives when attached to a server. Supported hard drives include 3.5 or 2.5 SAS, near-line SAS, and SSDs. A Modular Approach for Added Flexibility The modularity of the VSTOR Vault product family enables you to easily upgrade an existing system, and helps you evolve existing storage infrastructures to meet changing business needs For example, migrating from a standard, single-controller solution to a highly available, dual-controller solution simply requires you to slide in a second controller module. The system takes care of the rest, and you do not need to worry about data migration or extended downtime. This modularity also offers easy and economical ways to expand the capabilities of ARTEC s VSTOR and EMA product families, as well as various other server systems. Powerful Mass Storage Management The VSTOR Vault product family is supported by a robust suite of easy-to-use and intelligent storage management software. In the VS array series, the Modular Disk Storage Manager software is available for products based on ARTEC OS and other operating systems. It combines an intuitive interface with a suite of wizard-guided tools and a task-based management structure. This significantly reduces the complexity of performing installation, configuration, management, and diagnostic tasks. Customize Drives and Performance to Your Needs The VSTOR Vault product family gives you complete freedom when selecting mass storage media. Customize performance and available space to minimize the cost per gigabyte while satisfying your application and business requirements. To satisfy the near-line speed, performance, and reliability requirements of mainstream and server applications, near-line SAS drives (10,000 RPM or 15,000 RPM), self-encrypting drives, and solid-state drives can be used in all arrays of the VS product family. If data protection is a priority, the VS3 array series can be equipped with self-encrypting drives (SEDs) in order to increase security.

CONTROLLER CARDS TECHNICAL DATA PERC H800 and H830 RAID Controllers with up to 2 GB Cache The PERC H800 SAS 6GB and PERC H830 SAS 12 GB RAID adapters provide reliable, efficient, and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management thanks to their superior RAID management capabilities. With up to 2 GB of cache memory, these expandable RAID adapters can boost the performance of your server systems. On-board support for dual-channel technology allows for high-speed connectivity, and the built-in battery backup module helps prevent data loss by providing extra security in case of power outages. These products have been tested and certified for use with ARTEC s direct-attached storage system. Both controllers can be used as an advanced storage management component and intelligent storage controller in any server that has an available PCI Express slot. 12 Gb/s SAS HBA Card The 12 Gb/s SAS HBA card is a Serially Connected SCSI (SAS) controller that offers a data throughput of up to 12 GB/s and ideal hardware performance. The 12 Gb/s SAS HBA card is a standard PCI-E half-length and half-height card that uses PCI-E 8x connectivity and offers support for external SAS tape storage, RBOD and JBOD. The card can be used with platforms providing either PCI-E x8 or PCI-E x16 slots and communicates with SAS devices using external 2x 4 MINI SAS HD connectors.
