Features

• Capacity: Starting at 4TB (4 x 1TB SATA-II Hard Disk Drives HDDs) with maximum capacity of 24TB (12 x 2TB SATA-II Hard Disk Drives)
  • 4-drive disk packs enable expansion to 8 or 12 drive configurations
• RAID Support: On-disk data protection and organization configurable as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10. Automatic RAID rebuild and hot swap drives.
• Storage Pools: Storage Pools group drives of like size and RAID protection together to simplify management.
• Expandability: Add storage capacity by simply adding drives in the unpopulated drive bays. Added drives can be brought into an existing Storage Pool or made into a new Storage Pool. Additionally, USB connected Hard Disk Drives can be attached and used as shares. The StorCenter ix12 supports read and write on Fat32, NTFS, or ext2/ext3 formatted hard disks; read only of external HFS+ formatted drives.
• Sharing: Access files from any networked Windows, Mac, or Linux workstation or server for easy file sharing, data backup and print serving.
• Network File Protocols Supported:
  • Microsoft (CIFS/SMB/Rally) FTP
  • Linux/UNIX (NFS) HTTP
  • Apple AFP/Bonjour support SNMP
  • Windows DFS WebDAV
  • VLAN tagging
• Sophisticated Networking: Ethernet port bonding for load balancing, high performance bandwidth aggregation or failover; Virtual LAN (VLAN) capability simplifies management and operation by enabling devices to be logically, but not physically in the same subnet.
• Data Organization and Access: Windows DFS organizes folders and files on a network, such that they appear to be all in one directory tree on a single Iomega StorCenter system, even if the folders reside on many devices in many different locations. WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) enables viewing, adding, or deleting files on a StorCenter from the web, via HTTP or HTTPS for added security
• iSCSI Support: Provides block-level access for the most efficient storage utilization, especially for database and email application performance.
• High Performance: Quad-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and high-performance embedded architecture, plus link aggregation (port bonding) provide extremely high throughput.
• Active Directory Support: Allows the domain users and groups to authenticate to the Active Directory service to access the StorCenter ix12.
• UPS Support: Enables an uninterruptible power supply to communicate with the system via a USB port to initiate an unattended system shutdown without data loss in the case of extended power failure.
• Drive Spindown: For maximum energy efficiency, drives spin down based on user-set policy.
• Email Alerts: If the device detects a problem, an email alert is sent to one or more email addresses.
• Remote Access: Connect from anywhere on the Internet to access content or manage the device.
• System Dashboard: Provides a one-stop summary for status information on space utilization, device, peripheral, and backup status.
• VMware Certified: HCL certified NAS (NFS) and iSCSI storage for VMware ESX (vSphere).
• Microsoft Window Server Certified: Windows Server Catalog certified iSCSI storage for Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2.
• Citirx Certified: HCL certified NAS (NFS) and iSCSI storage for Citrix XenServer.
