SAS 712S at a glance...

If you need to add compact DAS (Direct Attach Storage) to your server or workstation, then this 2U SAS RAID storage array offers an affordable high performance system with a dual 6Gb/sec interface SAS RAID controller, ideal for running demanding applications.

This SAS RAID array includes the 7th generation of their award winning RAID controller architecture. This means that you get reliable, high performance from the dual 6Gb/sec interface SAS RAID controller. Also featuring a 6Gb/sec SAS2 backplane for fast disk access, it can support multiple hosts simultaneously and delivers continuous application and data availability.

Customers use it for both their primary and secondary storage requirements where price/performance is key. The JetStor 712S can be expanded by attaching seven additional JBODs to deliver 288TB of capacity. That means you could deploy over 0.75PB (756TB) of affordable SAS RAID 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 for demanding read/write I/O. Use SAS tier for transactional or intensive applications; use SATA tier for high capacity requirements.

Resilience comes as standard with; battery backup, hot-swap disk drives and dual 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.




Based on the 7th generation RAID controller architecture, JetStor SAS Model 712S twelve bay RAID array combines high density SATA III drives or speedy SAS2 drives with fast SAS2 host channels for a rapid, uninterrupted access to your most demanding applications requiring either high bandwidth or very rapid random I/O performance. Exchange servers will become more responsive, SQL server database queries will run faster, file server reaction will greatly improve - all translating to happier, more productive users. Engineered to meet stringent demands for continuous availability, JetStor SAS 712S RAID array features powerful LSI 800MHz RAID-On-Chip Processor for blazingly fast I/O operations, parity-assist ASIC, completely cableless backplane-based design, and storage capacities of almost 36TB in one small 2U enclosure.Further expansion is possible via JetStor SAS 712J JBOD expansion chassis.

Low service and integration costs are assured by the JetStor's cableless design, two redundant hot-swappable power supplies with two independent power inputs, turbo cooling fans, and embedded RAID controller. Three year warranty comes standard with every array and covers all components.

The JetStor SAS 712S RAID addresses many challenges present in datacenters and delivers ample bandwidth, unparalleled storage flexibility, higher levels of data availability, management and configuration simplicity, all while securing maximum investment protection to support future growth.

• 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 controller provides 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 SAS2 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.
• Completely user configurable via the front panel.
• Scheduled Online Parity Consistency verification feature insures RAID set integrity.
• Up to 128 addressable LUNS per RAID Set.
• Optional JetStor SAS JBODs are 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.
