Chapter 1: Introduction to VTrak
5
All E-Class enclosures include a mid-plane, RAID controller, power and cooling
units, and enclosure processor all in one cable-less chassis design. Multiple fans
and power supplies provide redundancy to ensure continued usage during
component failure. The RAID controller is hardware based and controls all logical
drive functions transparently to the host system. VTrak appears to the computer’s
operating system as a standard SCSI drive or drives.
