StoneFly, Inc. is announcing today the immediate availability of RAID 6 on some of its products, including its SAN-in-a-box systems, such as the iSC-1620 and iSC-2420 and some configurations of its ValueSAN and OptiSAN modular concentrators.
RAID 6 is a dual parity technology that maximizes fault tolerance by using a second independent distributed parity scheme (dual parity) to withstand multiple simultaneous drive failures, the company explains.
A StoneFly iSC-1620 with 2TB capacity starts at $13,500.
Later this quarter StoneFly will release RAID 6 for more configurations supported by its modular Storage Concentrator line.
