(4) 2000 series

- S2100/S2200/S2300

S2100/S2200/S2300, mid-range disk array, realizes high scalability (up to 14 disk enclosures can

be extended) and high availability (main components have redundancy). Furthermore, it

provides a function to replicate logical disks (DynamicDataReplication) in the disk array, which

enables effective backup and batch processing.

- S2400

S2400, mid-range disk array, realizes high scalability (up to 8 disk enclosures can be added) and

high availability (main components have redundancy). In addition, it provides a function to

replicate logical disks (DynamicDataReplication, RemoteDataReplication) in and between disk

arrays, which enables effective backup and batch processing.

Furthermore, this version can support an additional parity disk for the high reliability RAID

(RAID6) to secure the redundancy against an error in one physical disk.

(5) 1000 series

- S1100/S1200/S1300

S1100/S1200/S1300, a low-end model disk array, realizes the little space consuming (one

controller and maximum of 15 PDs may be loaded per 3U) and high availability (main

components have redundancy).

- S1400

S1400, a low-end model disk array, realizes space saving (one controller and a maximum of 15

PDs may be installed per 3U) and high availability (main components have redundancy). In

addition, it provides a function to replicate logical disks (DynamicDataReplication) in the disk

array, which enables effective backup and batch processing.

Furthermore, this version can support an additional parity disk for the high reliability RAID

(RAID6) to secure the redundancy against an error in one physical disk.

(6) 100 series

- S100

The 100 series, entry model disk array designed for Windows/Linux, realizes space saving (one

controller and a maximum of 15 PDs may be installed per 3U) and high availability (main

components have redundancy).

- S400

S400, entry model disk array designed for Windows/Linux, realizes space saving (one controller

and a maximum of 15 PDs may be installed per 3U) and high availability (main components have

redundancy).

Furthermore, this version can support an additional parity disk for the high reliability RAID

(RAID6) to secure the redundancy against an error in one physical disk.
