AC&NC;RAID JetStor SATA 412S – RAID Data Recovery Services

AC&NC RAID JetStor SATA 412S – RAID Data Recovery Services

JetStor SATA 412S is engineered to meet the stringent demands of continuous data availability in mission critical business applications. 412S delivers reliable data protection with the support of Ultra320 SCSI. It is built on the powerful 400MHz 64-bit RISC processor 400MHz CPU with 266MHz memory bus that yields blazingly fast I/O operations.

The parity-assist ASIC and completely cableless backplane-based designs ensure lower integration and service costs. The dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies with two independent power inputs, turbo cooling fans, and embedded RAID controller result in an energy-efficient storage model that is demanded by all businesses of today. The system offers storage capacities reaching 24TB in one small 2U enclosure. JetStor SATA 412S RAID finds special application in datacenters where storage flexibility and data availability are critical. Further, the system simplifies configuration and management, while securing maximum investment protection to support future growth.

Advanced Data Sentry technology (RAID 6) ensures the highest level of data protection. With this feature, multiple simultaneous drive failures can be tolerated without downtime or data loss. Other important features include Array Roaming that enables administrators to move a complete raid set to another system without losing RAID configuration and data on that raid set and Redundant Flash Image that provides an extra layer of protection against the firmware image corruption. Full 48-bit ATA addressing standard support allows for up to 144 petabytes capacity per drive to be utilized in the RAID array. SNMP supported.

Files deleted can be undeleted

If you have a brother and you both share the same computer, I bet that there were times in which you guys joked about deleting each other’s files and I also bet that it also happened that one of them, should truly go all the way with this. Well, you should not worry if you deleted your brother’s files anymore, because there are ways that you will be able to employ in order to get them back. And of course, I can imagine what a fight you guys had over this matter and how “well” you solved it.

But you should not worry about too much about what just happened, because there ways that you could solve this easily. You will only need to go on the internet and look for File Recovery Freeware that will let you recover those files.

Preparing For RAID Data Recovery

Redundancy, or the “R” of RAID has made many IT people assume that RAID data recovery is somewhat of an oxymoron. And why not? After all, over the past 20 years, RAID servers have been the choice of corporate environments, considered to be the best the data storage industry has to offer. Mission-critical technologies such as high-end database servers including SQL and Oracle and communication tools such as Exchange have made their homes on such servers, which provide high speed access to data with a safety factor that makes backing up almost seem unnecessary.

Knowing the weaknesses of the RAID storage solution is the key to any smart IT administrator’s knowledgebase. We are talking about, after all, the storage industry’s most cost effective performing solution since it first surfaced back in the 1980s. The drives have gotten cheaper and larger, but basically, we still have the same concepts. And therein lies the dilemma. RAID arrays are still based on the ancient hard drive form factor, one in which data is stored on platters and retrieved by the same heads (albeit better quality) within the individual hard disks. The fault of hard disks, meanwhile, remains the fact that we are still relying on the same mechanical drives that are still as likely to fail. And when the disks fail, the array goes down with them.
