February 1, 2005 Winchester Systems, Inc., a leading data storage solutions company, today introduced an enhanced ruggedized version of its high performance FlashDisk RAID array qualified for use in mobile military applications such as Humvee land vehicles, and other harsh environments requiring ruggedized hardware. "Winchester Systems developed the GR-2000 for the US Army. It was designed to meet the military's need for a Mil-Spec Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) RAID system," according to David Geene, Vice President of Sales. "There have been hundreds of our ruggedized systems deployed worldwide and they are now battlefield proven." The GR-2000 is our second generation of rugged RAID for military systems. Enhancements include an upgrade from an 8-bay to a 12-bay chassis supporting up to twelve, 300 GB low profile U320 SCSI disk drives totaling 3.6 TB per unit. Robust cable connections and unique drive lockdown thumbscrews have been enhanced to meet stringent shock and vibration requirements. The GR-2000 is compatible with most operating systems and no software drivers are required. It supports hot-swappable disk drives, on-line drive rebuilds and RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 1+0, 15 protection for high reliability. The GR-2000 meets a variety of military specifications including MIL-STD-810E Environmental, MIL-STD-461D for EMI and MIL-STD-2169B for HEMP (High Energy Magnetic Pulse). It is ready for use in any other military or demanding commercial application and may be customized to meet the specific ruggedized needs of government contractors.
