RAID Flexibility
Fusion RX1600Fibre systems support RAID 4 (DV RAID), 5, 6, 10, and 50 drive formatting for balanced performance and protection; RAID 1 for ultimate redundancy; and RAID 0 for pure, unadulterated speed; JBOD support is available, too. Fusion RX1600Fibre systems even support dedicated and global hot spares-you can set up your RAID groups so that one or more designated hot spare drives wait unused in the background to automatically replace a failed drive without you having to lift a finger. All this flexibility is accomplished without switches-the simple to use Web GUI enables you to optimize your setup for specific workflow requirements.

Versatile Performance
These systems are ideal for use in mixed environments-various operating systems, editing applications and output demands requiring the flexibility and interoperability that Fusion RX1600Fibre storage systems provide. Fusion RX1600Fibre systems support Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, Windows Server 2008 and Server 2003, 7, Windows Vista, XP, and Linux. They are compatible with capture cards from AJA, Blackmagic Design, Matrox, and Bluefish444, work with all mainstream video editing applications including Apple Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere Pro, and are compatible with file sharing SAN management software packages including, but not limited to Apple Xsan 2, Tiger Technology metaSAN 3, and CommandSoft FibreJet. Fusion RX1600Fibre supports 8Gb, 4Gb, 2Gb, and 1Gb Fibre Channel host adapters.

Key Features
• Perfect for Small Workgroups-4-port 8Gb Fibre Channel (FC) interface supports up to four users without the need for an FC switch, reducing cost, cabling, and complexity, while providing direct, high-speed access to stored assets
• Great Flexibility-Easily integrated into larger SANS; drops into an Xserve® RAID domain, supports Final Cut Pro® Server environments, and also provides for AVID volume locking
• High Performance for Multiple Users-Delivers aggregate bandwidth up to 1,000 MB/sec. read, and up to 100% more streams to multiple simultaneous users than general purpose shared storage systems
• Full Read Performance During Rebuilds-Tunable rebuild priority enables you to continue working on your project with full read performance during a RAID group rebuild; doesn’t degrade like general purpose shared storage systems
• Multipathing Support-Combines data paths from two or more FC ports to increase bandwidth and redundancy, and to provide load balancing for improved performance
• File Protection-Supports RAID levels 4, 5, and 6 to protect data in case of a drive failure (two drives with RAID 6) while maintaining great performance
• Monitored Operation-SES (SCSI Enclosure Services) and S.M.A.R.T. data reporting provide realtime monitoring and reporting of the enclosure and drives’ status
• Easy, Economic Expandability-Internal SAS expanders enable you to connect Fusion RX1600 Expansion enclosures without the need for an additional RAID controller
• Storage system includes enclosure with internal RAID controller, drive modules, cables, rackmount kit, software, and manuals
• RoHS compliant
