Working with key ecosystem members to develop the Intel SSR212CC Storage System, Intel now provides a standards-based hardware platform for system integrators and resellers, says Mike Wall, GM, Intel Storage Group Marketing.

The Intel Storage System SSR212CC is based on the Low Voltage Intel Xeon processor and supports up to six terabytes of data distributed across 12 Serial ATA (Sata) hard drives, allowing extra headroom for growth, Wall says. This storage system is also designed to support hardware-based Raid levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50, making data more reliable and faster to access.
 
Operating system support for the Intel Storage System SSR212CC includes Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 and Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, Wall adds.
 
We share Intels commitment to reduce data management complexity and overall storage costs, says Zane Adam, director of product marketing for Windows Server at Microsoft. The Intel Storage System SSR212CC running on the Windows Server platform delivers a cost-effective solution to handle critical, high-volume applications.

The Intel Storage System SSR212CC uses Xyratexs 2U chassis enclosure with integrated management that is designed to enhance field serviceability and to ensure the expansion capacities necessary for future data requirements.
