The E2800 series is the latest advancement in Bosch’s iSCSI-based digital video disk arrays, specifically crafted for demanding applications within the security industry that handle the ever-growing digital video data needs.
**System Overview**
The E2800 system is integrated into a 2U controller unit, equipped with 12 internal 3.5″ NL-SAS enterprise HDDs operating at 7.2K speeds. Users can select either a single or dual controller configuration, catering to varying requirements for high availability.
Designed for high performance and versatile adaptability, this storage solution excels in meeting diverse video surveillance demands, optimized for high bandwidth and I/O-intensive workloads. The E2800’s fully redundant I/O paths, enhanced protection measures, and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities ensure superior availability, data integrity, and security.
Co-branded as the E2800 series from NetApp, this solution offers scale-up network storage with top-tier “in-the-box” scalability, data protection, and streamlined management of video data assets. The E2800 supports configurations that allow connection to up to seven 12-bay expansion units, accommodating comprehensive storage needs.
This robust hardware features RAID/DDP protection, offering RAID-5 for capacity-optimized environments and RAID-6/DDP for environments prioritizing availability.
**High Reliability and Availability**
The E2800 series safeguards data with redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans. It utilizes high-performance RAID-6 or DDP to protect against double-disk failures and single-bit errors during rebuilds. Its redundant components, automated path failover, and online administration ensure continuous productivity 24/7/365.
High-availability features include:
– Automatic drive failover, detection, and rebuild using global hot spare drives
– Data cache protected by battery backup with de-staging to flash
– SANtricity proactive drive health monitoring to preemptively identify issues
**Monitoring**
The system offers comprehensive SNMP support with MIB-II and NetApp custom MIBs, ensuring e-mail and SNMP alert notifications in the event of component failures. Additionally, an event monitor can transmit alerts to a central event log and Auto Support messages can be sent when network connected, aiding in issue prevention.
