The mirrored write cache is backed up <> with a battery unit capable of saving the write cache to disk in the event of <> a power failure. In the event of a storage array failure, the second <> storage processor unit is capable of saving all state that was managed <> by the first (and vise-versa), even with a simultaneous power failure. <> When one of the storage processors or battery units are off-line, the <> system turns off the write cache and writes directly to disk before <> acknowledging any write operations. <> The length of time the battery can support the retention of data is 2 <> minutes - that is sufficient to write all necessary data twice. <> Storage processor A could have written 99% of its memory to disk and <> then fail. In that case storage processor B has enough battery to <> store its copy of A's data as well as its own. <> <> RapidFile FCX2400 includes an on-board FPGA acting as a 3-way bridge between host, FC controller and NIC, <> capable of breaking a TCP stream into individual NFS requests and separating the payload from the control information. <> Payload is directed to the on-board memory, while control information (including all NFS protocol headers), <> is directed to the host CPU for processing. =============================================================================== Generated on Fri Apr 7 16:12:46 EDT 2006 by SPEC SFS97 ASCII Formatter Copyright (c) 1997-2004 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
