VANCOUVER, WA – January 12, 2011 – 1U Rackmount storage systems are extremely versatile with RAX™ removable 2-bay enclosures from CRU-DataPort. Whether you need RAID or JBOD, access to bare drives or protection of a fully enclosed removable drive carrier, RAX is the answer. Additionally, RAX is available with hardware based encryption and on-demand write-protection for read/write access and added data security to meet all storage demands.
CRU-DataPort incorporated proprietary TrayFree™ bays and industry standard removable drive carriers into the RAX 1U rackmount chassis providing ideal solutions for disk-to-disk backup, off-site disaster recovery, backup/archive workflow and data ingestion.
Available Bay Options:
- TrayFree Bays allow easy access to bare drives by simply opening the bay door and inserting or removing the drive.
- DataPort 10 Removable Drive Carriers offer added protection with an all metal carrier completely housing the drives.
- DataPort 10 Secure with Internal Key adds 128-bit hardware based encryption ensuring data security and drive protection.
RAX products offer several interface options including FireWire 800/400, USB 2.0, SFF-8470 Multilane and eSATA versions with point-to-point and port multiplier connectivity. The sturdy metal chassis provides excellent heat dissipation while two 40mm fans offer superior cooling. To assist in the selection of a RAX product, CRU-DataPort has also launched a product selection tool for the website at http://www.cru-dataport.com/products/rax-wizard.php.
Chris Williams of DaVinci Digital expressed, “We have searched far and wide for a rack mounted JBOD enclosure with hot-swappable bays and couldn't find one — until now. This is the perfect solution for our customers who need disk-to-disk backup and want to swap drives.” Rackmount storage enclosures are suitable in multiple vertical markets and are available through CRU resellers starting at $359.00. CRU-DataPort will display the new RAX storage systems in conjunction with several other removable and mobile data security solutions at the GovSec Expo in Washington DC March 29-31, 2011.
