RS16FS is a rack-ready 3U, sixteen-disk, 4Gb Fibre to SATA disk array with a next generation RAID processor that sets new standards in performance and reliability. A dual SFP design allows full use of native Multi-Path capabilities in Mac OS X and can deliver an excess of 600MB/s when configured in RAID-5 protection. Industry standard SFP Fibre ports support active optical configurations for direct-attached or network deployments. An easy to use browser-based interface allows complete storage control and monitoring from any workstation on the network. Standard features include modular, hot-swap PSU, cooling and disks.

With the addition of native MPIO support, users can easily achieve sustained data rates in excess of 600MB/s with RAID-5 parity protection, ideal for uncompressed 4:4:4 HD video, digital intermediate and high resolution visual effects creation. Proavio has included every feature found in their Enterprise-class products including fully redundant hot-swap PSUs, cross-platform web-based management, hot-swappable cooling modules & disks and a modularized RAID controller that allows for easy replacement in the field.

With a high-speed optical Fibre interface, RS16FS accommodates direct-attached applications for performance as well as SAN attached network configurations for consolidated storage configurations or real-time volume sharing networks. Native MPIO operation allows users to maximize throughput exceeding 600MB/s, ideal for all levels of the post production process. RS16FS compliments any existing SAN platform including Tiger Technology MetaSAN, Xsan, FibreJet and StorNext.

Proavio's leading-edge SAS/SATA technology guarantees the industry's most comprehensive support for 3rd party host bus adapters and Fibre equipped editing systems including ATTO Technologies, Apple, LSI Logic and Qlogic.
