NFS File Server

The FastFile Pro's multiprocessor architecture incorporates a 100-MHz Pentium processor fully dedicated to NFS file transfer. Up to four dedicated PCI RAID processors handle RAID functions such as parity generation, hot swap, and reconstruction. A typical FastFile Pro configuration delivers 250 GB of storage in a choice of RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, RAID 3 equivalent, 5, or just as plain old disks. You can configure each of the system's four RAID controllers with up to 21 hard drives in 1-, 2-, 4-, or 9-GB capacities. By adding external devices with 126 volumes in total, the FastFile Pro can achieve maximum storage capacity as high as 8 terabytes. The FastFile Pro's operating system, AerReal, is compatible with all Unix flavors and can link it with hardware platforms from Sun, Silicon Graphics, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and DEC, as well as other NFS-compatible systems. A tower system with 16 MB of RAM; two 1-GB hard drives; a 7-GB native, 8-mm tape drive; a CD-ROM drive; a monitor; a keyboard; redundant power; an Ethernet interface; and software starts at $18,995.
