The Sapphire Series 1600qz 3Gb/s SATA RAID server is a high-availability server that incorporates 10,000RPM storage capacity of 2,400 (2.4TB) or 7200RPM storage capacities of 4,000GB (4TB) to 16,000GB (16TB) with the latest RAID technologies. High performance features include single or dual Quad-Core Xeon processors, up to 16GB system memory, and dual 10/100/1000 copper gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

This fault-tolerant server comes in a convenient, space-saving 3U Rackmount chassis with hot-swappable drives and trays, redundant 800 Watt hot-swappable 1+1 power supply, and an advanced cooling system. Your data is protected with your choice of RAID 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6 and JBOD across sixteen hot-swappable SATA disk drives on a high-performance 3Gb/s SATA RAID controller.

Installation and setup are a breeze, allowing the Sapphire Series 1600qz to be up and running in about 15 minutes after it is unpacked from the box. Additional software, including backup client or server applications, may be loaded via its integrated DVD-ROM drive.

Sapphire Series Servers are powered by the latest Windows Server 2003 and Linux operating systems. These industry standard operating systems allows the Sapphire Series to be used as a file server, domain controller, application server, web server, name server, print server, streaming media server, and more!

Not only is the Sapphire Series 1600qz great as a stand-alone server, but it is also highly expandable as well. Optional single or dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controllers allow the Sapphire Series 1600qz to be connected to external Ultra320 SCSI-attached RAID subsystems to vastly increase your available fault-tolerant storage capacities. An external tape backup device can also be connected to this SCSI controller for disaster recovery.

Or for even higher throughput, choose the optional 4Gb Optical Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters available with either single, dual or quad-ports -- allowing you to expand the Sapphire Series 1600qz with multiple Fibre Channel-Attached RAID subsystems scaling up to an additional 100+ TeraBytes of storage.

Whether you are building your company's network from the ground up, or just need to add more servers to your existing network, the Sapphire Series 1600qz NAS Storage Appliance is the solution for you!
