Acer Altos Server Family<br />

Acer Altos RS710<br />

Enterprises with ever-increasing databases, such as banks, schools, government<br />

offices <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r large enterprises, require safe, efficient, <strong>and</strong> scalable storage<br />

systems.<br />

The Altos RS710, a non-<strong>business</strong> critical hard-disk based storage subsystem, is<br />

ideal <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>se environments because it provides cost-effective flexible storage<br />

with a good level of availability. It is scalable <strong>and</strong> can be fully integrated in a<br />

RAID configuration toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> Altos server range.<br />

Storage Capacity <strong>and</strong> Scalabality<br />

By adding extra disk drives to a maximum of 15, storage capacity can be increased<br />

while <strong>the</strong> use of 9GB, 18GB, or 36GB disk drives provides great flexibility <strong>and</strong> allows<br />

a maximum storage capacity of 540GB.<br />

Pe<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

Because in<strong>for</strong>mation flow is a vital part of any computing system, <strong>the</strong> interface<br />

connecting <strong>the</strong> drives with <strong>the</strong> system plays an important role in determining<br />

overall per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

The Altos RS710 comes equipped with <strong>the</strong> latest Ultra 160 SCSI interface to<br />

provide super-fast data transfer rates. The Ultra 160 SCSI, which transfers data<br />

at a staggering 160MB per second, not only provides superior data transfer rate<br />

but also gives better throughput of data when accessing hard drives.<br />

Racks <strong>and</strong> subsystems<br />

Reliability <strong>and</strong> Availability<br />

The RS710 incorporates features <strong>and</strong> components specially design to provide<br />

round-<strong>the</strong>-clock maximum availability.<br />

Hot-swappable/Redundant Components<br />

• Redundant power supplies to keep <strong>the</strong> system running in <strong>the</strong> event of a power<br />

supply failure.<br />

• Redundant fans designed to keep <strong>the</strong> system cool at all times, without any<br />

loss of service.<br />

LED/Audible Warnings<br />

Alarms <strong>and</strong> LEDs have been incorporated in <strong>the</strong> RS710 to warn of componeent failure<br />

<strong>and</strong> equipment access problems LEDs on <strong>the</strong> front panel of <strong>the</strong> tower give fast <strong>and</strong><br />

simple notification of hard drive failure, fan <strong>and</strong> power status, while LDS on <strong>the</strong> individual<br />

disk drive trays provide a quick diagnosis of drive failure, <strong>and</strong> status/access.<br />

These provisions ensure data accessibility at all times.
