Accordance Unveils RAID Solution for PCIe 4.0 

As smart transformations sweep across industries and fields, data redundancy is no longer optional and should be standard on every industrial control equipment. With the ARAID^® M6, data protection and system reliability are seamlessly integrated into the computing platform, enabling enterprises to establish a more reliable groundwork for data safety in high-speed computing and high-risk environments.

Real-time Protection from Data Generation
In addition to massive amounts of computing and data storage resources, AI applications have high demands for data availability. The ARAID^® M6's RAID 1 mirroring function backs up the operating system and all data into a second drive in real time. Should the main drive encounter an error or fail, the system will instantly switch over to the backup drive, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

The ARAID^® M6 offers both RAID 1 and RAID 0 modes, allowing flexible deployment according to the application. An intuitive user interface greatly simplifies the setup process. Like previous models in the ARAID^® product line, the M6 features an OLED display and LED indicators for easy on-site monitoring of system status. Units in remote, unmanned sites are easily managed and maintained with SNMP support and automatic drive switching.




Hardware-level Defense for AI Applications
The ARAID^® M6 is a robust data redundancy solution for platforms running high-speed computing applications and AI systems, such as edge servers in smart manufacturing, traffic monitoring systems, and surveillance systems in retail and logistics. The M6 goes beyond backing up data; with its automatic and seamless switchover feature, it is a data protection framework to make data security a certainty across the enterprise's operations.

Unlike RAID cards, the ARAID M6's hardware-level redundancy mechanism runs independently of the system, providing greater platform compatibility and data reliability. It ensures critical systems run non-stop with protection against data corruption, data loss, and data downtime. An accompanying driver and and management utility provides additional management features to help enterprises build a more resilient data storage ecosystem.




Partnership with Advantech
