The ActiveRAID delivers
high-performance, high-availability, massive capacity, and the first native Mac
OS X storage management suite.
Developed to deliver the
best overall experience for media professionals – performance, reliability,
capacity, and out of the box ease of use.
From the highly
redundant architecture to the artfully designed enclosure, the ActiveRAID is a
truly differentiated RAID system with the styling and performance that media
professionals and Apple users demand. Whether deployed in a direct-attached
server environment or a complex Media SAN configuration, the Active Storage
ActiveRAID is the ideal solution to your storage needs.
The system is fully
configured and ready to use out of the box. Simply install it into your
equipment rack, attach power, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel cables. Power it on
and walk to your Mac or PC. Insert the Active Admin CD and discover the newly
installed RAID through Bonjour on your Mac or select the ID on your Windows PC.
Select your environment, name the system, and you are ready to go!
