RDX QuikStation 8 Advantages

Configuration flexibility

The RDX QuikStation provides removable data protection for any or many systems on the same network. The removable disk appliance emulates different configurable storage types, offering users versatility and expanded compatibility. The RDX-based appliance can look like a tape library or autoloader, virtual RDX drives, logical volumes, or a combination of tape and disk.

High Performing iSCSI Network Storage

QuikStation 8 is offered in two network configuration models. For high performance and resiliency, a model with four bonded Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports with load balancing and failover capabilities is available. The second model is equipped with an additional 10GbE port for maximum performance requirements.

Overcome Capacity Limitations and Data Availability

By spanning RDX drives in the QuikStation together, the capacity limitation of one single RDX media volume can be extended, but still maintain all RDX benefits of removability and protection of data. In addition, QuikStation 8 offers protected modes for spanned disk volumes with a fault tolerance of either 1 or 2 RDX media to ensure full data availability.

Manageable

Built-in web-based management with multi language support is accessible from any standard web browser and offers user-friendly control, automated firmware updates, management, operation, status and security.
