EP-3164D-GAS3 can provide users for dual active protection, high bandwidth cache mirroring, seamless management, multiple target nodes, high availability / load-balancing, and high performance. With this new weapon, you can move into industry at the need of high-speed, such as cloud computing, high-speed computing, grid computing, and even get into virtualization environment.

Proware EP-3164D-GAS3 iSCSI RAID system provides high capacity storage, 24x7 data protection, shared access, central management and simplified capacity expansion to reach the most difficult needs of transfer speed and the amount of data grows. Ethernet based storage area networks are easily configured with software and/or high performance hardware initiators using existing network management skill sets. The EP-3164D-GAS3 iSCSI RAID subsystem features four 10Gb/s Ethernet host ports to increase system efficiency and performance. It features high capacity expansion, with 16 hot-swappable SAS/SATA II hard disk drive bays in a 19-inch 3U rackmount unit, scaling to a maximum storage capacity in the terabyte range. The EP-3164D-GAS3 also supports Dual-active controllers which provide better fault tolerance and higher reliability of system operation. It is ideal for building a shared storage pool for disk-to-disk volume distribution, data backup, storage consolidation, and replication among networked servers.
