An innovator in storage solutions for small and medium business (SMBs), MicroNet Technology has unveiled the Platinum RAID Pro, a multi-terabyte eSATA RAID solution, which transcends the capacity limitations of SATA disk arrays. The Platinum RAID improves the performance bottlenecks of USB and FireWire storage with a compact transportable unit, which provides simplicity and easy to use. It allows SMBs to focus on their business and not on data storage.
The new 5 terabyte Platinum RAID Pro is a good combination of the highest capacity of any eSATA disk array on the market with a new performance focused design built around a 64 bit Intel XScale processor to accelerate I/O. The eSATA connectivity provides more bandwidth and eliminates penalties of USB and FireWire bridging. MicroNet’s new 5 terabyte Platinum RAID Pro is especially designed for small and medium enterprise, who need high performance storage but not high complexity storage. It is completely operating system independent and requires no drivers to be installed.
It allows customers to access the full 5TB capacity potential of the Platinum RAID Pro. The new Platinum RAID runs on all operating systems, including Windows Server 2003 and above, Windows Vista, recent Linux releases and Mac OS X. it provide robust performance to easily handle the most intensive SMB RAID applications, which are given below:
1. Digital video
2. HD audio
3. Digital imaging
4. Streaming backup
eSATA provides more than a 200 percent raw data improvement as compared to FireWire- and USB-based external storage solutions and it can be improved further with the pure SATA environment, which bypasses the throughput hits imposed by having to convert SATA drive protocols to FireWIre and USB signals.
