3ware Escalade 7410

3ware's Escalade 7000 Series ATA RAID controllers deliver full-featured hardware RAID for PC servers and workstations. Based on proven network switching technology, 3ware's StorSwitch architecture provides superior reliability, scalability and performance over traditional shared-bus architectures like SCSI and software-based ATA solutions. 3ware's Escalade 7000 cards set the new standard for ATA RAID. Driven by desktop PC volumes, ATA disk drives represent a tremendous value with higher capacity, reliability and performance, than ever before. By providing the features and performance previously available only in SCSI and other shared-bus RAID systems, the 7000 series enables the use of these cost-effective ATA drives. With StorSwitch architecture, Escalade cards offer improved reliability compared with traditional RAID implementations. Escalade products meet or exceed the requirements for PC server storage in applications such as email servers, workgroup servers and SQL database servers. Escalade RAID controllers enable new storage applications. By attaching more than a terabyte in a single PCI slot, new applications are made possible for PC servers. Video streaming, archival near-line storage, web farms, large email servers, and other high-density storage applications are served. A new class of disk storage is created.
