Società specializzata nella fornitura di nuove tecnologie per l'informatica

This architecture represents the SMART proposal for a low cost HIGH AVALABILITY storage architecture: it includes two common NAS system configured with specific HA software.

Each NAS is configured like one logical volume with a useful capacity approximately of 3.5TB in RAID 6 configuration (double disks parity). On top of that is present an ext3 or XFS file system mounted like /HA-DATA and offered on the network to several remote NFS clients.

The NAS installed in the secondary remote site system is configured for synchronous back up the /HA-DATA file system. This system is able to be allocated at remote site. Primary NAS, Secondary NAS are connected each other through 4 Gigabit copper interface in load balancing configuration.
This architecture guarantees a constant access to the data and the integrity of the data in case of a failure of one NAS.

MODULAR STORAGE SYSTEMS

The proposed modular architecture in NAS technology represent the SMART proposal for the “Storage on Demand” philosophy.

Modular Storage architecture scales to meet the customer future needs. As the customer data expands, the modular architecture expand with it. Simply adding up to 10 x JBOD expansion modules of 16HD each, protecting the original storage investment.
The system include a “Storage Head” who manage the JBOD enclosure through a SAS connectivity. The system is connect to the network though the a Copper or FC link.

PORTABLE STATIONS FOR GRAPHICAL APPLICATIONS

SMART can supply portable informatics station. They are BOXS realized on the base of the customer Hardware equipment needs. The material depends on the specific environment where the system will be used. The layout and the technical characteristic will be defined every time on the base of the customer needs.

Following an example of a structure realized for THALES ALENIA SPACE

• PORTABLE BOX - 7mm – dusted and splashing water protected
• Built in aluminum it offers maximum resistance and reliability
• made out of poplar wood to which a sheet of 1mm aluminum is applied then riveted and glued to a rust proof aluminum frame.
• The corners are protected by adding a galvanized iron cap. To finish the product: locks, hinges and arms are in nickel-iron for highest quality.
• Wheels
• Shock proof and antistatic polystyrene (40mm on each side) Internal protection for the following HW components:
• Monitor 30” 2560 x 1600 a 60HZ (native)
• Mobile Workstation 17”
• External USB/Firewire HD 1TB
