Spanning desktop, tower and rack-mount styles for hard-drive and tape backup applications, the storage enclosures present a common look across the product line for use in front offices, back offices or studios. The enclosures support Fibre Channel, LVD (Ultra2), and single-ended interfaces with SCA drives.Pedestal models can hold up to 20 drive bays, while rack-mount units can have as many as 10. All units are designed for quick, easy drive swapping, and hot-swap drive canisters are interchangeable between all models. And in addition to supporting hot-swappable drives and featuring redundant power supplies, Fortra enclosures also employ dual low-power-consuming centrifugal blower units for improved cooling.
