| Areca ARC-1110/1120/1130/1160/1170 |
PCI-X 4/8/12/16/24 Channel SATA-II RAID6 Host Adapters
Areca ARC SATA-II RAID adapters offer powerful data throughput, extensive fault tolerant capabilities, and
easy-to-use management utilities to meet enterprise servers and high performance workstations required by
today's data intensive storage applications. Tekram services customers with a complete spectrum of ARC
SATA-II RAID adapters supported 4, 8, 12, 16, 24 SATA-II device on a single host adapter with today
maximum I/O performance PCI bus interface, PCI-X .
Areca ARC SATA-II RAID adapters powered by Areca proven RAID 6 engine with robust RAID feature set and
advanced fault tolerance capabilities, benefit from advanced hardware designs for enhanced I/O efficiency
and performance deliver enterprise-class non-stop services with common interface across its products line.
Systems ranging from desktops to workstations and servers to network attached storage (NAS) devices and
other network appliances can reap the benefits of Areca proven RAID 6 solutions. Unequalled customer
support and rigorous testing and validation processes ensure the highest quality solutions demanded by
data storage professionals.
Tekram services customers with a complete spectrum of SATA-II RAID adapters that support 4, 8 , 16 or 24
SATA-II devices on a single host adapter with today maximum I/O performance PCI bus interface, PCI-X and
PCI-Express.
Unparalleled Performance
The SATA-II RAID controllers raise the standard to higher performance levels with several enhancements
including Intel high-performance I/O Processor (500 MHz), a new DDR memory architecture (DDR333) and
high performance PCI-X bus interconnection.
Unsurpassed Data Availability
The SATA-II RAID adapters with extreme performance ASIC RAID 6 engine installed provide the highest RAID
6 feature to and delivers RAID 5 performance. The SATA-II RAID adapters can also provide RAID levels 0, 1
(0+1), 3, 5, 6 and JBOD RAID for maximum configuration flexibility and data availability.
Maximum Interoperability
Areca ARC SATA-II RAID adapters support broad operating systems include Windows Server 2003, Windows
XP, Windows 2000, Red Hat Linux (Open Source), SuSE Linux (Open Source), and FreeBSD.
