Product Description
The Vivant Block Services RAID storage system brings Fibre Channel RAID to a new level of performance, reliability, scalability and data availability. Vivant Block Serivces is MTI's end-to-end FibreChannel solution that has been designed to operate on today's multiple host Storage Area Networks (SANs). The Vivant Block Services supports RAID levels 0, 0+1 and 5. The high availability storage array combines RAID levels 0 and 1 performance with RAID level 5 cost-effectiveness. The RAID controller's flexible, scalable design is well suited to online transaction processing (OLTP) environments requiring a high rate of random access.
