SAS 642F at a glance...

JetStor 642F combines enterprise class performance and reliability with the lowest industry cost per usable gigabyte to deliver an optimal solution for massive data requirements without compromising on performance or reliability.

With a highly dense storage footprint, you can deploy JetStor with VMware virtualisation and solve the challenge of low infrastructure utilisation, increasing physical infrastructure and IT management costs, insufficient failover protection and disaster recovery, therefore reducing total cost of ownership.

Suitable for both Primary and Secondary storage requirements where rack space and power consumption are key - extreme density is now a reality. Deploy JetStor 642F in your data centre and achieve up to 840TB of cost-effective compact storage in just one industry standard cabinet.

Certified with SATA, SAS and new SSD drives for high read/write I/O, you now have the flexibility to solve a broad range of requirements with different storage tiers. Use SAS and SSD tiers for transactional or intensive database applications like Exchange and SQL and SATA tiers for high capacity requirements.

Engineered to meet stringent demands for continuous availability, maximum resilience comes as standard with hot swap RAID controllers, disk drives and three hot-swap PSUs.

Reduce power consumption and improve storage efficiency. JetStor advance MAID technology spins down idle disks to conserve energy, incorporating advanced technology, to avoid compromising performance and reliability. It helps the environment and improves your bottom line. On average, JetStor can save 20% to over 50% energy savings. Additional benefits realised are; decreased heat output, greater drive longevity and lower cooling requirements.

Manage your storage environment with a simple but powerful RAID GUI, accessible through most web browsers. Benefit from fast configuration, monitoring and notification which provides instant access to the status of the RAID array allowing 24*7 monitoring and remote notification.

Every JetStor is backed up by our no-nonsense 3 Year Advanced Replacement Warranty as standard. With unlimited telephone and email support, your investment in JetStor brings service to a level you'd never thought possible at this price.

• Exclusive Advanced Data Sentry technology (RAID 6) provides the highest level of data protection. Multiple simultaneous drive failures can be tolerated without downtime or data loss.
• Array Roaming feature gives administrators the ability to move a complete raid set to another system without losing RAID configuration and data on that raid set.
• Redundant Flash Image provides an extra layer of protection against the firmware image corruption. If the primary firmware of the RAID controller becomes corrupted, the secondary firmware image will automatically be used.
• Full 48-bit ATA addressing standard support allows for up to 144 petabytes capacity per drive to be utilized in the RAID array.
• ASIC assisted parity for lightning-fast throughput.
• RAID controllers provide RAID 0, 0+1, 1, 3, 5, 6, 30, 50 and RAID 60, Global Hot Spare Disk, Auto Rebuild, and up to 4GB of DDR2 ECC SDRAM-based data cache.
• Intelligent SAS backplane design (uses no cables) allows "hot swapping" of disk canisters, power supplies, and fans for increased reliability, lower cost, and ease of maintenance.
• Built-in management Ethernet port provides easy access to the web-based GUI RAID Manager for configuration, management, and monitoring functions. E-mail event notification is built-in.
• Optional 72-hour cache Battery Backup Module available.
• Scheduled Online Parity Consistency verification feature ensures RAID set integrity.
• Up to 128 addressable LUNS per RAID Set.
• Optional JetStor SAS JBOD is available for further capacity expansion.

Standard Warranty

Three years hardware warranty
Three years hardware warranty from date of shipment; NBD (next business day) parts delivery; telephone & e-mail support during business hours. Warranty extension available.

NBD (next business day) parts delivery.
JetStor systems are modular in design, enabling simple hot-swap replacement of failed parts even by non-technical staff. This negates the requirement for a JetStor engineer to attend site and reduces any period at risk. An RMA (return material authorisation) will be supplied. The customer agrees to return the failed part within 30 days.

Telephone & E-mail Support
Monday - Friday, 9:00AM - 5:00PM (excluding public and VSPL holidays). Software related issues are usually assessed and managed remotely from either the UK or US support centre. If required, a service representative will visit on-site.

Support Uplifts

On Site Spare Parts
Spare parts are available to purchase and hold on-site enabling you to quickly replace part(s) and restore your system back to full operational health. VSPL will replenish the spare part(s) through an advance replacement service.

On Site Spare Systems
For customers with larger deployments or those with more demanding support requirements, complete spare systems can be supplied enabling the rapid resolution of faults or restoration of services in the event of individual part(s) or complete chassis failure. JetStor storage systems support RAID array roaming - a stand-by chassis can be supplied which will accept the disk drives of the relocated RAID set(s) installed in any physical order.

Secure Site 'NoReturn' Drive Support
Due to the sensitive nature of the data that you may store, we understand that you can not always return failed drives to us. Should you experience a drive failure we will provide a replacement drive without the requirement to return any failed drive.
