FlashDisk OpenRAID GR-2000 Ruggedized RAID
Ruggedized RAID Disk Array For Military Environments
FlashDisk has it all -- sturdy construction, ultra-high speed, superb
reliability yet is available at “COTS” (Commercial Off The Shelf) prices.
This FlashDisk rugged RAID array is designed to meet the requirements of
the most severe and harshest environments. FlashDisk is built to go the
distance, whether your need is for tracked or wheeled mobility on the
ground, or transportable applications shipboard or airborne.
Ruggedization
FlashDisk ruggedized RAID disk array for military environments has been
put to the test passing MIL-STD-810-E for environmental compliance and
MIL-STD-461-D for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The solid seam
welded sturdy aluminum construction throughout is designed to withstand
any vigorous handling. The hinged front panel is part of a 1" solid
aluminum frame for added strength and drive protection and is secured with
only four thumbscrews. The drop-down design provides easy access to the
“hot-swap” drive carriers minimizing maintenance and repair time.
Lock-down thumbscrews and individual drive keylocks secure each drive
to the chassis to minimize vibration avoiding potential read/ write
errors. With this sturdy protection, FlashDisk rugged RAID array has been
approved by the U.S. Army for use in the Humvee land vehicles for
strategic terrain mapping systems.
Environmental
Dual disk drive heating elements with individual temperature controls
insure fail-safe operation during low temperature environments. Dual
redundant 6" variable speed cooling fans are included with automatic
shut-off at low temperature, and individual thermal control circuitry to
eliminate any disaster as a result of extreme varied temperatures.
FlashDisk ruggedized RAID disk array for military environments have
identical and easily replaceable dust filters in the front and rear panels
of the unit to minimize downtime for routine maintenance. FlashDisk also
has 45 degree louvers on both front and rear panels to achieve drip-proof
protection of your valuable data from any harsh environmental conditions.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
EMI gaskets of conductive elastomer are permanently adhered in the
grooved top cover, and front and rear vent covers, for maintaining EMI
immunity requirements and data integrity. Front and rear air vents are
protected by honeycomb filters to maximize airflow and EMI protection. AC
power line filters & a Mil-Spec AC connector are used to insure EMI
compliance.
The Ruggedized RAID FlashDisk array has also undergone HEMP testing and
has been approved by Aberdeen Proving Ground
meeting MIL-STD-2169B.
RAID Data Protection
FlashDisk rackmounts are typically configured as RAID 5 arrays or as
RAID 1+0 arrays (striped mirror sets). With an optional “hotspare” drive,
FlashDisk automatically rebuilds data on the “hot-spare” if a drive ever
fails or when the controller
anticipates
a drive failure.
