With an eye on enterprise features at a price that even a small to medium businesses can afford, the Promise VTrak E-Class fundamentally changes storage economics from purchase and set up to operation and upgrades. The flexibility to use Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) drives and the open architecture of the VTrak E-Class lets businesses use the components that are best suited to their application needs. All of the systems in the E-Class series also share the same firmware for ease of qualification. Promise's WebPAM^®  PROe provides an OS independent, centralized GUI for comprehensive data management. Promise stands behind all of its VTrak products with a 24x7 technical support, 3 year limited warranty and an advanced replacement program. 

Intelligent Design Delivers Scalability and Upgradeability
Dual 4Gb Fibre Channel (FC) host interface ports per controller provide connectivity into widely deployed Fibre Channel storage networks, perfect for supplementing existing storage networks and for building new application storage systems. Choose the E-Class system that fits your requirements today with the confidence that you have the flexibility to change the host interface simply by changing the controllers and also increase your available storage by adding JBOD systems from our VTrak J-Class and scale to meet your future needs. In addition, one of the key advantages of the SAS technology implemented in the VTrak E-Class and J-Class is the ability to connect either SAS or SATA drive with the same interface. This simplifies data management by allowing businesses to easily expand SAS storage as their critical business transactions increase and migrate less-accessed data to SATA storage. Sharing most common FRUs between products also eliminates spare parts SKUs and simplifies field replacement. 

No Single Point of Failure
With the VTrak E310f, Promise has dramatically narrowed the gap between simple fault tolerance and No Single Point of Failure. The E310f incorporates an intelligent, enterprise-level, cable-less system design which includes fully redundant, hot-swappable controllers, power and cooling units, which are all field replaceable. All system components are constantly monitored to ensure continuous operation in case of disk failure or a controller, power supply, or cooling unit malfunction. Dual active-active, failover/failback RAID controllers provide redundant data paths to further help ensure availability.

Comprehensive Data Management
The VTrak E310f features an embedded management software, WebPAM PROe, that eliminates the need to install additional software on the network. All VTrak systems in your network can be configured and monitored through a single, easy-to-manage web-based graphic user interface. The software works through the VTrak system's Ethernet port - locally, across a LAN, or across an internet connection - to configure and monitor one or multiple VTrak system(s) and provide error reporting through pop-up messages, event logging, or email notification. In the event of a controller failure, Promise's management software will also seamlesslessly failover and failback. The VTrak family also simplifies integration with third-party management applications using industry-standard SNMP and CIM protocols
