    by Matt Sarrel
  • SAS Drives
    The Dot Hill 2722 is equipped with 24 15,000-rpm SAS drives.
  • Rear View
    Here you see the 2722 from behind, with redundant power supplies and storage controllers.
  • Hot-Swappable
    Each of the two controllers is hot-swappable and contains supercapacitors and compact flash memory for cache backup.
  • Diagnostic and Management Utility
    The QLogic SANsurfer diagnostic and management utility displays plenty of helpful information about the attached Fibre Channel SAN.
  • RAIDar
    The RAIDar management GUI opens to the System Overview page, which shows the status of various components at a glance. The menu bar running across the top (including View, Provisioning, Configuration, Tools and Wizards) puts all functions a maximum of two clicks away.
  • Help
    Context-sensitive help is thorough and informative.
  • Rear Graphical View
    The rear graphical view makes troubleshooting very easy. Here, green checks indicate that everything is operational.
  • Front Graphical View
    The front graphical view also aids in troubleshooting. Clicking on a disk causes an orange LED to flash on the physical drive.
