HighPoint Industrial and Virtualization solutions feature integrated host, hardware-level RAID 0, 1 and JBOD capability. RAID arrays hosted by SSD6200 series controllers are fully transparent and will be automatically recognized by all current VM and OS platforms as available single-drives. No drivers, special procedures or software application is required.
Though simple, RAID 1 mirroring technology remains one of the most effective way to secure a bootable storage configuration against the threat of device failure. RAID 1 creates a hidden, automated backup of the target drive; in this case, a bootable NVMe SSD. If the original should fail, the mirrored backup will immediately, and seamlessly, take the reins. This enables the host system to remain online, and continue to operate, unabated.
Configure arrays with the flip of a switch!
No IT background? No problem! SSD6200 controllers are ideal for users of any skill level. Customers don't need to master a complicated RAID application to configure NVMe storage.
Optimizes Production Workflows
One-Click RAID Creation enables Solution Providers and VAR’s to optimize production workflows. The onboard RAID switch completely flattens the learning curve by eliminating the need for an interface or application. You don’t even need an OS or input devices! Simply install the SSD’s, plug in the card, power on the system and toggle the switch!
RAID Switch Settings
Each controller features two hardware switches which can be used to configure one of 3 arrays modes (Mirroring, Striping and JBOD).
OOB (out-of-band) RAID Management
SSD6202A & SSD6204A controllers provide an out-of-band management port and integrated console management interface.
OOB is ideal for field maintenance and on-site services as it allows the RAID storage to be administered in a pre OS environment. OOB is well suited to secure Data Center and Hosting applications, as it only grants access to the NVMe RAID console and configuration; it cannot interact with user data in any way.
The SSD6202A & SSD6204A provide LED indicators which enable administrators to quickly determine the status of the NVMe SSDs, RAID array, and PCIe host connection.
