FIBRENETIX, a leading provider of enterprise class RAID storage subsystems, today announce the shipment of its VP-852 RAID subsystem to the market.

Delivering the latest in compact enclosure design and enterprise class features, this 2U, 8-bay RAID subsystem offers dual Ultra320/160 SCSI or 2Gbit Fibre Channel host connections to SATA hard drive technology. Each VP-852 offers up to 3.2 TB of storage capacity.

Based on the same innovative technology as Fibrenetix highly successful VP-12 series, users benefit from unsurpassed reliability and data availability. “With the implementation of RAID-6 functionality, Fibrenetix were the first vendor in the market to give true enterprise reliability to an ATA based RAID subsystem.” said Jes Nagel, Fibrenetix Managing Director.  “RAID-6 allows two drives to fail without any loss of data, whereas a traditional RAID 5 configuration can only sustain one drive failure before data is lost."

At the heart of the VP-852 is Fibrenetix advanced Daytona RAID engine, utilising the new internal PCI express bus from Intel. Performance of up to 235MB/s on an Ultra320 SCSI host connection and 140MB/s on an Ultra160 host connection, makes the VP-852 is one of the fastest RAID subsystems in the industry.

Fibrenetix complete VP range offer the latest in centralised management and monitoring features. The VP-852 boasts onboard Ethernet connection and unique embedded RAID management with POP3 and SNMP support. 

The VP-852 is the latest product from Fibrenetix to deliver an unbeatable Price/Performance ratio, and meet the ever growing challenge for high capacity, high availability storage for an on demand market.  Mr Nagel adds, “Based on substantial initial orders from large BETA testers in Germany and the UK, Fibrenetix has hit a very soft spot in the market place, offering the right features, performance and capacity, at the right price.”
