Features:

Unified Solution
For businesses that are always committed to use Fiber Channel storage network, VessRAID allows them to upgrade their existing data storage from 4G to 8G infrastructures at lower costs. Best of all, the product is a unified networked storage designed to support file and block level data transfer via IP and Fiber Channel ports. The multiprotocol-support VessRAID is a unified platform making network-attached storage (NAS) and storage-area network (FC and iSCSI) data transport possible in one system.

Energy Saving
Being green is important for business now. VessRAID features advanced hardware design using 80PLUS-certified power supplies, and supports complete levels of MAID2.0 that both can greatly improve system's power effectiveness in management and reduce heat generation. In addition, the power scheduling function allows users to power off the system and performs a disk-to-disk backup or restore on a scheduled basis. As the task completes, system returns to standby until the next one starts, resulting in a considerable 70% cost savings annually.

Smart Management
OPAS is designed to reduce maintenance complexity and streamline an easier tech support workflow as much as possible. It provides a new level of user convenience unique to PROMISE. With a simple USB stick plugging in, it can perform system information retrieval, firmware auto upgrading, script for quick installation and password resetting.

Competitive Pricing
Economic slowdown worldwide have caused a number of businesses to either cut their IT budgets or delay their purchasing decisions for new storage equipments, yet there is still need for inexpensive and feature-rich storage solutions as data grows on a day to day basis. The VessRAID family of products provides a reliable data protection you expect from PROMISE to keep data online longer through a cost-effective way for businesses to easily meet storage demands.
