6 HOT-SWAPPABLE, REDUNDANT RAID5 DRIVES, HOT SWAPPABLE
REDUNDANT POWER SUPPLIES AND DATA REDUNDANT SOFTWARE
30 July 2002 15:20:35
City Of Industry, CA (April 30, 2002) – Broadax Systems introduces
their latest high performance e-server, the RMS-6260. This new powerful
mid-range rackmount server series combines six hot-swappable RAID5 compatible
drives and dual redundant, hot-swappable power supplies with the reliable
operation of dual Intel® Pentium® III 1.4 GHz Tualatin processors,
4GB SDRAM memory, dual ATA-100 IDE channels, dual fast Ethernet LANs,
five 64-bit/33MHz full-size PCI cards. The system supports a variety of
operating systems and is optimized for both local and remote monitoring
and restart making the RMS-6260 ideal for the most demanding server applications
including online banking, e-trading, e-business, LAN and WAN servers and
other extreme applications where downtime is not acceptable.
The RMS-6260 provides a flexible, scalable and cost-effective option
for high fault tolerant/resilient servers. Its high processing power is
derived from dual Pentium® III Tualatin processors running at 1.4
GHz and backed by up to 4GB SDRAM.
Dual ATA-100 IDE channels and a Promise Fast Track100 hardware RAID card
support up to 6 hot-swap drives for redundant storage of critical data.
The e-server uses 3.5-in. RAID Level 5 drives, which means data is striped
across three or more drives for greater data retrieval and writing speed
to complement the CPU and then by parity bits stored on another separate
drive providing data security and fault tolerance. If a drive fails, simply
remove the failed hot-swappable drive with a new one and the RAID controller
automatically reconstructs the data. Two hot-swap 300W power supplies
complete the fail-safe design, making the RMS-6260 a five-nines (99.999%)
uptime performer.
This high performance hardware is supported by an abundance of operating
systems (OS) including Windows® 2000/XP/NT 4.0, Netware® 4.x/5.x/6.x,
Redhat Linux® 7.0/7.1 with HP® OpenView®, CA TNG Framework®,
and Intel® LDCM®. Broadax’s own Server Management software
makes standardization and easy server management significantly more simple
and less time consuming even when deploying multiple systems on remote
sites. This software automatically identifies potential critical server
problems such as internal temperatures, power voltages, and component
health status allowing for preventative maintenance prior to system failure.
The 2U high rack mountable servers are also designed for easy maintenance.
All drives and power supplies are accessible from behind a lockable front
panel. Status LEDs on the center of each front panel make it easy to isolate
a failed server in a rack with multiple configurations. The LEDs tell
the status of each unit and conveniently informs when problems arise from
hard disks, fans, over-heating, or system power failure. The LEDs make
it easy to detect individual failures to decrease trouble-shooting time
and increase uptime.
Plug-n-play based, the RMS-6260 is a scalable rack-mount system with
dual 10/100 Ethernet ports and is expandable with five full-size 64-bit/33MHz
PCI bus slots. Two serial ports, one parallel port, two USB, CD-ROM, floppy,
and keyboard/mouse connections make the system a powerful and flexible
server for many applications.
Price And Availability
The RMS-6260 redundant e-server is available now from stock with up to
2 weeks ARO for larger orders. Based on system configurations and OEM
requirements, systems are as low as $1,315. Quantity discounts are available.
