Original Press Release:
Conduant Introduces the DM-425-3U Storage Unit for High Speed Storage Applications
Compact enclosure with capacity up to 1 Terabyte
LONGMONT, Colorado, November 29, 2007 - Conduant Corporation, the leading developer of storage systems for real-time applications, announced today the Big River(TM) DM-425-3U Storage Unit for high speed storage applications. The compact subsystem plugs directly into a PXI or CompactPCI chassis and provides up to one terabyte of disk storage capacity, in a very small enclosure. Configurations are available for both legacy PXI and CompactPCI as well as the new PCI Express based versions. With the DM-425-3U, a broad range of high speed storage applications may be designed around a standard PXI/CPCI chassis.
"Increasingly, our customers are requiring small, portable data storage subsystems for streaming applications," said Ken Owens, CEO of Conduant, "The DM-425-3U features abundant storage capacity in a very small package that is compatible with existing chassis configurations. Our customers within the aerospace, scientific research and defense communities can utilize this capability for high speed data acquisition, digital signal processing, radar and sonar, telemetry, high resolution video recording and other applications that require the caputure and storage of vast amounts of data."
Features of the Big River DM-425-3U Storage Unit
When ordered with the on-board PCI Express SATA controller, the DM-425-3U integrates with major operating systems to provide additional storage capacity in JBOD or software RAID configurations. When ordered with the external multilane SATA connector, the DM-425-3U can be used with the Conduant StreamStor® PXI-808 Disk Controller Card for high speed recording without requiring an external chassis to hold the disk drives. The DM-425-3U is designed for use in a PXI / CPCI 3U chassis with variations available for both PCI Express and legacy PCI based architectures. The storage unit is also available with solid-state disk drives in capacities up to 512GB.
Configurations
The Big River DM-425-3U Storage Unit requires only 3 open slots (12HP) and is available in 3 different configurations. For direct connection as a host storage device, the unit is available with an on-board PCI Express SATA controller. This configuration (Option 001) requires an available CPCI/PXI Express slot as well as 2 additional open slots directly to the right of the first slot. The other 2 configurations use the backplane connection for power only and provide an external multilane SATA connector on the front panel for a cabled connection to either a StreamStor disk controller or other SATA disk controller. A version of this configuration is available for either a CPCI/PXI slot or CPCI/PXI Express slot.
