Enterprise-Class Storage for 1 to 512 Servers
Powered by the Adaptec OnTarget™ OS, which is based on Linux and tuned for delivering iSCSI storage using a hardware RAID control-
ler with blazing performance and unsurpassed flexibility and reliability to meet the most demanding storage requirements.
Consolidate storage from several servers onto the Adaptec 700i Series to increase their storage performance and reliability while gain-
ing flexibility in managing and allocating storage from a central storage resource.
Powered by a 2.6GHz Opteron processor with up to 2GB of DDR RAM, optional dual power, and 3 or 4 GigE I/O ports for high
performance and path redundancy.
Uses four 250GB, 500GB, or 750GB hot-swappable SATA II drives or four 300GB hot-swappable SAS drives to deliver excellent I/O
performance, as disk operations can be spread across them.
Cost-Effective Modular Expansion
Expand with 1 or more 2U SANbloc S50 expansion chassis, each of which can house up to 12 hot-swappable drives.
Mix-and-match 250/500/750GB SATA II drives, 146GB 15K RPM SAS drives, and 300GB 10K RPM SAS drives within the SANbloc
S50 expansion chassis.
Up to 33TB with all SATA II drives, a maximum of 44 drives using 4 SANbloc S50s.
Up to 28.8TB with all SAS drives, a maximum of 96 drives using 8 SANbloc S50s.
Useful for communicating with an uninterruptible power supply to shut down gracefully in the event of a prolonged power failure.
Scalability and Performance
Up to 386MB/s throughput is over 3 times faster than popular competing storage systems.
Up to 50 times the number of popular competing storage systems.
Up to 8 times the number of popular competing storage systems.
Breaks the 2TB volume barrier. Supports volumes as large as 18TB with today's disk capacities.
Increases performance and fault tolerance to satisfy demanding server applications.
Supported by modern switches and GigE ports on servers to increase I/O performance.
Fastest time to available storage from poweron to volume availability. The Adaptec Storage Manager simplifies initial setup as well as
the creation of RAID disk pools and volumes in any number of Adaptec 700i Series storage systems. Further, it automatically assigns a
drive letter and formats volumes on the Windows host side.
Boot your Windows servers directly from LUNs in the Adaptec 700i Series to reduce IT complexity and eliminate the cost of requiring
a boot disk in the server. Should the server fail, a new one can be instantly booted from the LUN for rapid recovery. Utilizes emBoot
software, which works with standard Ethernet NICs. For the highest performance requirements, QLogic iSCSI HBAs are also supported.
Initial setup and ongoing management of the Adaptec 700i Series is performed through the graphical user interface via a network
connection.
Use Adaptec Storage Manager to discover, manage, and monitor host-side as well as target-side systems in your IP SAN network,
providing a complete and seamless iSCSI management application.
Manage the Adaptec 700i Series from Microsoft Storage Manager for SANs or other SAN managers that utilize VDS.
Receive status information such as drive failure, RAID pool in rebuild state, and new RAID pool created through email and/or SNMP
traps.
A fully functional command-line interface for advanced users.
Adaptec Storage Manager simplifies firmware deployment by pushing updates across the SAN from your administrator's desktop.
Set up appropriate access permissions for storage administrators.
Simplifies connecting hosts to iSCSI targets and communicates status information back to hosts.
Adaptec Storage Manager schedules hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly snapshots; and specify how many you want to retain of each (up
to 16).
