EMC CLARiiON® AX150 Dual Controller

EMC® CLARiiON® AX150 series disk arrays enable small and medium businesses to consolidate and share storage efficiently among multiple computers. The AX150 is ideal for performing fast, reliable backup to disk. By combining the capabilities of EMC’s renowned CLARiiON RAID architecture and Serial ATA II (SATA II) disks, the CLARiiON AX150 delivers easy-to-use, highly reliable data storage at an affordable price. The CLARiiON AX150 is available in single controller or dual controller models. Both models provide up to 6 terabytes of storage for Windows, Linux, Solaris and NetWare servers directly or through a storage area network (SAN) using high-speed Fibre Channel or iSCSI connections.

The dual-controller AX150 is designed for your most critical servers. In addition to 1 gigabyte (GB) of controller memory and CLARiiON RAID 5 or RAID 1/0 data protection, the AX150 has a high degree of redundancy.
Dual-active storage controllers, mirrored cache, and dual hot-swappable power supplies help ensure data remains highly available in the event of component failure or power interruption. To optimize performance and further ensure no single point of failure, the AX150 can balance data traffic
between two host bus adapters (HBAs) per connected computer or fail over to a single HBA if the other is not functioning.
