ES A16E-G2130-4
The A16E leverages the existing TCP/IP network infrastructure by encapsulating data in iSCSI protocols. The A16E comes with 4 GbE data ports and all Infortrend's standard RAID functions. The A16E-G2130-4 delivers flexibility, ease of management, and configuration simplicity, while ensuring maximum security and protection for your precious data.

The A16E-G2130-4 subsystem is a power-boost version of Infortrend's iSCSI series with hardware RAID6 (by the latest ASIC400), RoHS-compliant hardware, and 1GB more internal bandwidth than previous EonStor. With abundant bandwidth and computing power, the iSCSI RAID comes with four (4) GbE host ports and is able to satisfy the increasing demands for storage space with block-level performance and the unparalleled RAID5 and RAID6 protection. Leading the trend of intelligent RAID storage, the A16E is a seamless integration of Infortrend's innovative RAID technologies with iSCSI protocols that encapsulate SCSI data blocks and carry them over sophisticated Ethernet infrastructures. With the EonPath™ multi-path software and intelligent load-balancing algorithms, the subsystem readily joins into environments requiring a reliable storage pool. The subsystem is designed for a wide variety of applications, be it a quick addition to departmental needs, data warehousing, databases, or as a secondary storage besides a large storage network.

Reliability
Infortrend's RAID subsystems are renowned for a complete list of RAID configuration choices in terms of RAID levels, performance parameters, and proactive fault management. A configured RAID array is not only protected by drive redundancy, but also the rich variety of protection features ranging from media error recovery to the management of faulty components. EonPath multipathing drivers are now available for application servers running Windows, Solaris, or Linux operating systems. EonPath provides mutlipath IO function by recognizing and managing the fault-tolerant data paths to an individual RAID volume. Greater reliability is achieved through the path failover mechanism in the event of cabling component failure. The EonPath also comes with loadbalancing algorithms which help accelerate the throughput across host-storage data links.

Availability
Throughout the decade, our sophisticated firmware core runs a million RAID arrays around the globe, in numerous applications and harsh environments. To ensure a high level of system availability, critical components such as power supplies and cooling fans are configured in redundant pairs. Modules are integrated with the main signal path PCB via board-to-board or interface-specific connectors to eliminate points of failure. Assisted by GUI management software, an administrator is constantly aware of all component statuses through a local or remote console.

Manageability
All critical components are housed in their own removable canisters, including hard disk drives, power supplies, battery module, and cooling fans. In the event of component failure, each can be replaced within seconds. A variety of configuration and monitoring methods are available, either locally via the LCD keypad, text-mode terminal emulation, or remotely through the browser-based or Java-based SANWatch(Storage management suite). All fault conditions, including module failure, abnormal voltage and temperature readings, are instantly reported.
