Pharos integrates COPAN Systems Enterprise MAID
By TVTechnology published
Pharos has integrated COPAN Systems' Enterprise MAID technology with its Pharos Mediator media management system.
The move adds COPAN Systems' Enterprise MAID disk-based archiving providing higher access speeds, greater reliability and lower power consumption compared to existing datatape-based robotic archive systems. Using COPAN's MAID platform, Pharos can now offer disk-based storage as an alternative to robotically accessed datatape for nearline archiving.
COPAN's MAID performs automatic checks on drives when they are not being used. If a problem is found with a specific drive, an alternative is assigned in its place and the defective unit flagged for replacement.
This self-rebuilding makes the system extremely reliable. Each COPAN drawer can accommodate 14 x 1TB drives. Eight drawers can be housed in a 4RU x 3.2ft rack-mounted chassis to provide 112TB of storage.
