DataBank appliances deliver shared storage resources for centralized environments needing high-capacity protected storage. Data-Banks are connected with standard Gigabit Ethernet and discovered automatically. Up to twelve DataBanks can be configured together as a high-performance iSCSI SAN called a RAIGE™ Array. The RAIGE Array is managed as a single pool of shared storage where capacity and performance are automatically load balanced across the DataBank appliances. The RAIGE Array eliminates any single point of failure so that the shared storage is resilient in the face of component failures.
DataBanks can be combined to create a scalable iSCSI SAN array with no single point of failure. Storage can be logically and physically expanded with applications running.
Enhanced RAID 6e protects data even when three simultaneous disks fail or when one disk and an entire appliance with all 12 drives fail concurrently.

A standards-based architecture ensures ease of integration and training while diagnostic and management tools speed deployment of the most complex installations.
Intuitive open-system appliances simplify configuring centralized storage regardless of application performance and capacity requirements.
