The Maxitec Scorpion FC/Array is the fault tolerant Fibre Channel (FC) RAID subsystem of choice for high data availability. The high performance Scorpion FC/Array is perfect for workstation
applications, including multimedia and video-on-demand servers, internet/intranet, document imaging and medical imaging systems. Maxitec Scorpion FC/Array is among the first to feature end-to-end FC
performance from controller to disk drives. Controllers, PBMs, fans, power supplies and drive bays are redundant, hot pluggable, and hot replaceable. In addition to enabling host independent high
performance, the Array provides both fault tolerance and maximum uptime. |

Scorpion FC/Array Performance Plus Maxitec Scorpion FC/Array exploits the capabilities inherent in FC-AL: low latency: high bandwidth: up to 200 MB/sec, broad
connectivity: 30 meters copper/10,000 meters Fibre Optic, and scalability: 125 nodes per loop. Scorpion FC/Array Management The Array can be configured centrally over the fibre channel
link, remotely using the RS-232 port or locally through the integrated LCD panel on the controller itself. To aid during configuration or trouble shooting, a comprehensive set of diagnostic tools is
included. These are accessible both from the front LCD panel and remotely. |
