Rugged, Compact, Powerful TranzStor 5XL Released

July 26, 2004 -- Z Microsystems has developed the TranzStor 5XL RAID, a new storage product based on the hot-swappable TP7 drive module that spans the gap between the single drive TranzStor 1Xi and the eight drive TranzStor 8X RAID.

The TranzStor 5XL is a rugged five drive RAID system in a 2U tall, 19" rack-mountable enclosure. A tough removable door provides dust and EMI protection and allows easy access to the dust filter for cleaning. The 5XL supports five TP7 SCSI drives with capacities of 73 GB, 146 GB, as well as the soon-to-be-released 300 GB drive in-development. The resulting RAID capacity is 365 GB, 730 GB and 1.5 TB, respectively.

Along with the TP7 drives, the RAID controller is also removable from the front for ease of repair, upgrades and security control. The controller supports the following RAID level formats: 0, 1, 0+1, 3, 5, 10, 30, 50, NRAID, and JBOD. The TranzStor 5XL supports two data channels and can be configured with a split data bus.

The field-ready 5XL was designed with modification flexibility to meet a broad range of customer requirements, and is proving in preliminary tests to meet or exceed specific Mil-Spec requirements.

The TranzStor 5XL is a compact, rugged storage system ideal for pairing with a rugged Z Microsystems server for a deployed database application in a single transit case.
