Chapter 1 Introduction

The iSCSI RAID Subsystem

The iSCSI RAID subsystem is a 4-bay disk array based on hardware RAID configuration. It is an easy-to-use storage system which can be configured to any RAID level. It provides reliable data protection for servers, and the RAID 6 function is available. The RAID 6 function allows failure of two disk drives without any impact on the existing data. Data can be recovered from the remaining data and parity drives.

The iSCSI RAID subsystem is the most cost-effective disk array subsystem with completely integrated high-performance and data-protection capabilities which meet or exceed the highest industry standards, and the best data solution for small or medium business users.
