In e-business environments,theres one
overriding requirement: continuous access
to critical data. Adaptec,the trusted data
storage leader, helps meet this need w ith
the flexible and cost-effective DuraStor
SCSI-to-SCSI and Fibre Channel (FC)-
to-SCSI storage subsystems.
Adapte c DuraStor subsystems are designed
for flexibility, scalability, hig h fault-tolerance
and performance. The y are ideal for IT data
centers, businesses that must suppor t data
warehousing,transaction processing,streaming
video, medical imaging, digital pre-press,
and other data-intensive, mission-critical
applications.
Adapte c DuraStor subsystems include a 2U
storage enclosure with 12 SCSI drive bays,
complete with redundant power supplies and
cooling fans. Each subsystem also includes a
single RAID controller (a second controller
bay is available for dual controller configura-
tions) with either four Fibre Channel or
two SCSI host connections and up to four
back-end SCSI channels for storage expansion.
The result is a 2U subsystem that prov ides
high data availability, and is easily scalable
to meet your data storage needs.
Unsurpassed data availability
These subsystems prov ide extensive fault
tolerance,guarding against any single point
of failure with complete system redundancy.
Hot-swappable components can be replaced
in seconds,including hard drives,RAID con-
trollers,cooling module, and power supplies.
Advanced data protection and support with
multiple RAID levels and global hot spares
protecting data under any configuration.
Advanced data protection includes SAF-TE
monitoring services and (with optional second
RAID controller card) host-independent
active-active failover and failback features.
Highly scalable
Both subsystems can easily be scaled to
1.7 TBytes by installing up to 12 one-inch,
146 GByte drives in a single storage enclosure.
For even greater capacity, SCSI host subsystems
can scale to 5.2 TByte with three enclosures.
Fibre Channel host subsystems can scale to
7.0 TByte with four enclosures. The subsystems
feature on-line capacity expansion, which
allows you to expand the capacity of the
array without powering down the system.
Easy RAID management
All DuraStor subsystems include powerful,
easy-to-use storage management software for
Microsoft®Windows®2000,Windows NT®,and
Sun Solaris operating system environments.
Storage Manager Pro™ software provides
a Java-based GUI for simple configuration
and data monitoring.
Industr y-leading compatibility and support
Adapte c DuraStor subsystems are backed by
one year of technical support and one year
of FREE onsite serv ice. This support extends
to disk drives listed on Adaptec’s compatibilit y
website at www.adaptec.com.For greater
serv ice needs,Adaptec’s Elite serv ice plans
offer upgradeable ser v ice options including:
24x7 technical support and onsite serv ice
plans with as little as four hour response
times. All of these plans compliment
Adapte c’s three-year warranty and extensive
testing to ensure trouble free operation
and peace of mind.

Adaptec DuraStor7320SS Storage Subsystem
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI RAID storage subsystem
The Adaptec DuraStor 7320SS Storage Subsystem is a fast,flexible,
quickly scalable, easy-to-manage solution for FC-to-SCSI networked
data storage. The Dur astor 7320SS is SAN-ready,providing the hig hest
performance and the greatest accessibilit y for multiple clients. This
subsystem is the optimal solution for shared storage environments,
where multiple storage subsystems will be managed over long distances.
Advanced software features allow for increased storage securit y and
storage manageability, resulting in lower total cost of ownership.
Adapte c’s LUN Zoning technology provides the ability to map and
mask LUNs or par titions to multiple servers in SAN environments
(see diagram below). IT managers can easily and conveniently
partition pooled storage and select which ser vers can access each
partition. This technology minimizes management costs, and
provides improved storage access security.
The DuraStor 7320SS also offers other advantages, such as the ability
to support LAN-free backups – particularly desir able where LAN
bandwidth is constrained. It is ideal for small to large IT data centers
and businesses with SANs or point-to-point topologies that handle
storage needs for data-intensive applications such as e-commerce,
rich media st reaming, transaction processing, and data warehousing.
The DuraStor 7320SS includes a 2U SCSI drive enclosure with a
single FC-to-SCSI RAID controller and hot-swappable power supplies
and fans.Adding a second (optional) RAID controller provides host-
independent active-active failover/failback features for point-to-point
and arbitr ated loop configurations. RAID level support includes
0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 50, and JBOD volume sets. Highly fault-tolerant
and easily scalable to four drive enclosures, the DuraStor 7320SS
can store up to 7.0 TByte of data using 146 GByte drives.
Key Benefits

SERVER STORAGE DATA SHEET
External SCSI-to-SCSI RAID storage subsystem
Designed to be the most economical in a DAS environment,the
Adaptec DuraStor 6320SS storage subsystem is a fast, flexible, scalable,
easy-to-manage solution for SCSI-to-SCSI centralized d at a sto r a ge .
Best suited where security is paramont, and where fewer than three
servers share data. This is the optimal solution for distances of less
than 25 meters, and where a few RAID storage enclosures will meet
the storage requirement.
This external storage subsystem offers improved stor age availability
and scalability than a PCI RAID solution. The subsystem enhances
performance by offloading data from the server CPU to the external
RAID Controller.
The DuraStor 6320SS is configured using a SCSI-to-SCSI RAID
controller enclosed in a 2U SCSI drive enclosure with hot-swappable
power supplies and cooling fan module. The installation of an
optional second RAID controller adds host-independent active-active
failover/failback features. Highly fault tolerant and easily scalable to
three drive enclosures, the DuraStor 6320SS can store up to 5.2 TByte
of data using 146 GByte drives.
Key Benefits
2U external RAID solution with Ultra160 SCSI host interface
and disk drive
