QCL has launched a new range of complete PCs, the 1000 series.
This array of drives appears to the host computer as a single logical drive.
The SS1000 safeguards data - if a disk fails, data is reconstructed.
Data are "striped" across several disks.
An extra disk is used to store parity information, which is used to reconstruct data.
This architecture ensures that users can always access the data they need at any time.
The SS1000 is designed to provide a level of protection by including redundant information to ensure a disk failure would not cause loss of access to data.
The SS1000 is particularly useful for database management, where a great deal of information is stored on a regular basis.
The SS1000 provides the appropriate technology for increasing the robustness and reliability of a wide range of computer systems.
As management make more and more use of mission-critical applications they can depend on RAID solutions to provide fault-tolerance and failure resistant systems.
The system is supplied with a 1GHz Pentium IV processor and 1Gbyte DRAM with options up to 3Gbyte.
