DAS - Direct Attached Storage
 Data storage connect directly to a server or workshop
through Host Bus Adapter (HBA), there is no network
between storage and host servers

Difference of iSCSI, NAS - 1
Network Attached Storage (NAS) uses
File-Level protocols such as NFS or
SMB/CIFS for remote files sharing.

Block Level
Same as traditional SCSI and FC
interface, iSCSI require Block-Level
access to the hard drives such as
email servers, databases, and high
usage file servers.

Why 1Gb iSCSI?
 Low Total Cost of Ownership
 Deploy SAN infrastructure on the existing Ethernet
infrastructure
 Share the 10Gb infrastructure NIC, switch, cables
 Leverage technology expertise



The same technology as existing network topology
No additional training needed
Easy management and maintenance
 Upgrade performance from existing 1Gb iSCSI

Disk Cloning
A method to automatically copy data to spare disk and replace the sick disk.
It could be configured to trigger by the following conditions:
• Over bad block threshold of disk.
• Detect SMART warning from disk.
Disk cloning is to prevent a rebuild from ever occurring and having the unit in
degraded mode.
On-line Array Roaming
Array member disks has recorded specific Identification when original RAID
system or controller faulty, the function provides a easily way to recognized
data back by just move member disks to the same model and working RAID
system.

Array Recovery
A embedded utility to rescue array set back from a fatal error of when parity
array (RAID 3/5/6) unexpected lose too many disks and makes array fail.

Utility Highlights
PathGuard™ MPIO
A specialist software utility focusing on I/O load balancing
while increasing performance by leveraging end-to-end
I/O path failover and failback, and Multiple path to each
device. This software is available in all Redundant series
which ensuring business continuity in any event of
performance is a priority.
RAIDGuard Central™ (RGC)
A free centralized management software utility to
provides centralized monitoring multiple RAID systems by
through Ethernet at a local area network. Easier install
RGC to a normal PC as an agent and then any PC/server
could monitor to RAID system remotely. Allow customer
to warning the engineer real-time with mail sending and
most popular web messenger: MSN.

Encryption
Key
MaxSure
Arena unique F/W feature to support SED (Self Encrypting Drive), the drives
are embedded with encryption ASIC and encryption key, to encrypt/decrypt
data write / read to the drives automatically. The MaxSure are the 2 features
for SED :
• Instant Secure Erase
• Authentication Key Management
LUN Masking
LUN (Logical Unit Number) Masking is an authorization process that makes a
LUN available to some hosts and unavailable to other hosts. LUN Masking is
implemented primarily at the HBA level. LUN Masking implemented at this
level is vulnerable to any attack that compromises the HBA.
LUN Masking support by storage is important because Windows based
servers attempt to write volume labels to all available LUN's. This can render
the LUN's unusable by other operation systems and can result in data loss.
