SAS 716FD at a glance...

The JetStor SAS 716FD offers up to 1,600MB/s bandwidth to support the most demanding of SAN environments. It is a highly available, scalable storage system allowing you to start small, at a low price point, and then scale capacity without compromising on performance or reliability.

Customers use it for both their primary and secondary storage requirements where price/performance is key. The JetStor 716F can be expanded by attaching additional JBODs to deliver 336TB of capacity. That means you could deploy 672TB of affordable SAN storage in a single industry standard 42U cabinet.

Solve a broad range of requirements with different storage tiers in the same box. Configure with your mix of SATA 300, SATA 600, 3Gb SAS, 6Gb SAS and even SSD drives for demanding read/write I/O. Use SAS and SSD tiers for transactional or intensive applications; use SATA tier for high capacity requirements.

Experience extreme performance with dual redundant active/active 8Gb Fibre Channel controllers, each with quad interface ports - ideal for running virtual server or clustering environments. Featuring a 6Gb SAS2 backplane for fast disk access, it can support multiple hosts simultaneously and delivers continuous application and data availability. MPIO is supported for fault tolerant IP SAN links.

Engineered to meet enterprise demands for continuous availability, maximum resilience comes as standard with; automatic failover, mirrored cache, battery backup, hot-swap RAID controllers, hot-swap disk drives and three hot-swap PSUs.

Reduce power consumption and improve storage efficiency with advanced JetStor MAID technology. Spin down idle disks to conserve energy - decreasing heat output, develop greater drive longevity and lower cooling requirements. It helps the environment and improves your bottom line. On average, JetStor MAID technology can save from 20% to over 50% energy savings.

Configure and 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.

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.

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.
