Product Description
The 5884 controller's fifth-generation enterprise controller architecture boasts independent processing elements and separate memories; reducing contention and letting each element focus on its specific job. Its high-speed XOR engine generates RAID parity calculations without a performance penalty, enabling this compute-intensive task to be handled efficiently and effortlessly. A separate processor focuses on data movement control, allowing setup and control instructions to be processed and dispatched independent of data. Two 5884 controllers are integrated into a controller module and combined with one or more drive modules to create a fully featured storage system. These dual controller systems are fully redundant and support up to eight 2Gb/s or 1Gb/s FIbre Channel host connections and 224 Fibre Channel or SATA disk drives.
