Iomega 8TB StorCenter ix12-300r Network Storage Array

Features 8TB with a maximum capacity of 24TB when populated entirely with 2TB hard disks

Four-drive disk packs enable expansion to 8 or 12 drive configurations

On-disk data protection and organization configurable as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10. Automatic RAID rebuild and hot-swap drives

Storage Pools group drives of like size and RAID protection together to simplify management

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

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

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

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

Provides block-level access for the most efficient storage utilization, especially for database and e-mail application 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

For maximum energy efficiency, drives spin down based on user-set policy

If the device detects a problem, an e-mail alert is sent to one or more e-mail addresses

Remote Access allows you to 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

HCL certified NAS (NFS) and iSCSI storage for VMware ESX (vSphere)

Windows Server Catalog certified iSCSI storage for Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2
