SAS 742FD at a glance...

Need to deploy huge amounts of highly-available data? The JetStor SAS 742FD is an affordable enterprise solution for storing massive data requirements in a small footprint and at a low price point without compromising on performance or reliability.

Customers use it for both their primary and secondary storage requirements where rack space and power consumption are key. The JetStor 742FD can be expanded by attaching an additional JBOD to deliver 252TB of capacity. That means you could deploy over 1.25PB (1,260TB) of affordable, enterprise 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 environments. Featuring a 6Gb SAS2 backplane for fast disk access. 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.

3 years warranty with next business day advanced parts replacement including telephone and email support as standard. Support uplifts available.

• 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 or 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.
• Supports future drive sizes. 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 controller provides RAID 0, 0+1, 1, 3, 5, 6, 30, 50 and RAID 60, Global Hot Spare Disk, Auto Rebuild.
• 4GB of DDR2 ECC Registered 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 insures RAID set integrity.
• Up to 128 addressable LUNS per RAID Set.
• Optional JetStor SAS 742 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.
