Powered by enterprise-class EMC® LifeLine™ software, the StorCenter ix12-300r is available in configurations starting at 4TB, and can be expanded up to 24TB in a single array. Robust connectivity allows simultaneous multi-protocol file and iSCSI block-level access. High performance makes the StorCenter ix12 an ideal candidate for email and database applications or as a fast backup target. High reliability features ensure maximum availability; RAID with hot-swap drives and automatic rebuild; dual hot-swap power supplies; redundant variable-speed hot-swap chassis cooling fans. Features Capacity: Starting at 4TB (4 x 1TB SATA-II Hard Disk Drives HDDs) with maximum capacity of 24TB (12 x 2TB SATA-II Hard Disk Drives) 4-drive disk packs enable expansion to 8 or 12 drive configurations RAID Support: On-disk data protection and organization configurable as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10. Automatic RAID rebuild and hot swap drives. Storage Pools: Storage Pools group drives of like size and RAID protection together to simplify management. Expandability: Add storage capacity by simply adding drives in the unpopulated drive bays. Added drives can be brought into an existing Storage Pool or made into a new Storage Pool. Additionally, USB connected Hard Disk Drives can be attached and used as shares. The StorCenter ix12 supports read and write on Fat32, NTFS, or ext2/ext3 formatted hard disks; read only of external HFS+ formatted drives. Sharing: Access files from any networked Windows, Mac, or Linux workstation or server for easy file sharing, data backup and print serving. Network File Protocols Supported: Microsoft (CIFS/SMB/Rally) FTP Linux/UNIX (NFS) HTTP Apple AFP/Bonjour support SNMP Windows DFS WebDAV VLAN tagging Sophisticated Networking: Ethernet port bonding for load balancing, high performance bandwidth aggregation or failover; Virtual LAN (VLAN) capability simplifies management and operation by enabling devices to be logically, but not physically in the same subnet. Data Organization and Access: Windows DFS organizes folders and files on a network, such that they appear to be all in one directory tree on a single Iomega StorCenter system, even if the folders reside on many devices in many different locations. WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) enables viewing, adding, or deleting files on a StorCenter from the web, via HTTP or HTTPS for added security iSCSI Support: Provides block-level access for the most efficient storage utilization, especially for database and email application performance. High Performance: Quad-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and high-performance embedded architecture, plus link aggregation (port bonding) provide extremely high throughput. Active Directory Support: Allows the domain users and groups to authenticate to the Active Directory service to access the StorCenter ix12. UPS Support: Enables an uninterruptible power supply to communicate with the system via a USB port to initiate an unattended system shutdown without data loss in the case of extended power failure. Drive Spindown: For maximum energy efficiency, drives spin down based on user-set policy. Email Alerts: If the device detects a problem, an email alert is sent to one or more email addresses. Remote Access: Connect from anywhere on the Internet to access content or manage the device. System Dashboard: Provides a one-stop summary for status information on space utilization, device, peripheral, and backup status. VMware® Certified: HCL certified NAS (NFS) and iSCSI storage for VMware ESX (vSphere). Microsoft Window Server Certified: Windows Server Catalog certified iSCSI storage for Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2. Citirx Certified: HCL certified NAS (NFS) and iSCSI storage for Citrix XenServer. Replication: The StorCenter ix12 supports device-to-device (D2D) asynchronous replication based on the end-user determined policy. Replication uses the secure rsync, rsync, or remote CIFS protocols. Security Camera: Connect Axis® and/or Panasonic network security cameras and the StorCenter ix12 captures and stores video without the need of a dedicated PC. Total Data Protection: Multiple network interface cards (NICs) can be configured for I/O failover Robust username and password authorized access or integration with Microsoft Active Directory Service Configure with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 to assure data integrity if a drive fails.
