Highly Reliable Systems: 2- and 4-Bay RAIDFrame +Plus BDR and NAS

Highly Reliable Systems, Inc., announced the 2-bay and 4-bay RAIDFrame+ BDR and NAS server appliances capable of RAID-0+1 or RAID-5+1 using self-replicating 72TB managed RAIDPac modules.

RAIDFrame +Plus NAS appliances feature Xeon processors with up to 32GB DDR3-1600 system memory and failover hot-swap power supply units. RAIDPac storage modules enable the largest removable drives on the market, each with its own independent RAID-0/1/5 controller.

“The RAIDFrame +Plus BDR NAS incorporates removable RAIDPac storage modules, that allow you to pull the actual storage module itself that you’ve stored your data on. The RAIDPac contains three SATA drives and a RAID-0/1/5 controller so when you pull the RAIDPac from the RAIDFrame you’re actually pulling an entire RAID-5 array” said Darren McBride, CEO, Highly Reliable Systems. “Our RAIDPac can also be accessed in the field by plugging in a four-pin Molex power connection and either USB 3.0 or SATA cable at the back of the unit to become the world’s largest removable drive.“

RAIDFrame NAS and RAIDFrame +Plus BDR appliances include transportable RAIDPac modules offering the combined capacity of three drives in RAID-0 or two drives in RAID-1/5 mode. Using 6TB SATA HDD drives, each RAIDPac Backup & DR module delivers up to 18TB capacity. On the four-bay RAIDFrame appliance this amounts to as much as 72TB available combined capacity for backup archives and storage sets. These removable RAIDPac can then be used for offsite backup retention, or to silently seed replication to the cloud. Transportable media are a fast way to recover from a disaster while avoiding the reduced restoration speed and bandwidth-intensive nature of Internet-based cloud storage.

RAIDFrame +Plus network appliances are available through partner resellers starting at $3,299. Direct-attached RAIDFrame appliances start at $2,999.
