Serial attached SCSI (SAS) is the next generation of the SCSI-interface. It provides increased data-transfer speed of up to 20 times of the traditional SCSI – using the latest SASII interface with a speed of 6GB/s. SAS devices are also connectable to each other – which allow enterprises to create a fast and scalable storage solution for their video-security system.

With this launch – Instek Digital introduces two different types of Serial attached SCSI devices; Matrivideo SAS DAS and Matrivideo SAS JBOD. The main difference between these two devices is the support of RAID-function for the SAS DAS device. SAS DAS is a high performance storage solution with exceptional video-data management. The firmware-embedded web browser-based RAID manager allows local or remote management and configuration. The SMTP manager monitors all system events and user notification automatically. To remotely monitor events via LAN no firmware-embedded SNMP agent is required.

Their Matrivideo SAS JBOD device is a cost-performance solution with higher bandwidth. This device is ideal for high capacity and scalable storage for today’s video surveillance market.

Also to increase data storage capacity – Matrivideo SAS DAS devices can be scaled with multiple Matrivideo SAS JBOD devices. This allows the SAS JBOD devices also to be manageable and supported by RAID-function.
