PRESS RELEASE

September 2014, Milpitas, CA. HighPoint Technologies proudly unveils our latest ThunderboltTM 2 powered product line - RocketStor 6300 ThunderboltTM 2 Series Diskless Storage Solutions. Available for hardware RAID or JBOD configurations of up to 8 SAS/SATA drives, RocketStor 6300 Solutions are ready for all levels of professional storage applications. Storage configurations hosted by RocketStor 6300 Solutions can be easily tailored to accommodate a wide range of professional media applications, from 2K and 4K video editing and post production workstations, to HD media streaming platforms, and media libraries used for archiving digital assets. Each RocketStor 6300 solution pairs our innovative ThunderboltTM 2 Storage Adapters with a robust, multi-bay Storage Tower, and a complete set-up kit. Installation could not be simpler: install the hard disks of your choice and your Storage is ready for use!

Simple and Flexible Modular Design Streamlines Storage Upgrades

The highly versatile, modular form factor streamlines storage upgrade and expansion projects. Unlike preconfigured storage solutions, customers are not restricted to a specific set of drives, nor saddled with capacity or performance limitations, and costly upgrade paths.

The RAID controllers and ThunderboltTM 2 connections are kept separate from the storage devices, and are housed within the compact adapter module. The storage tower's removable, hot-swappable bays support any industry standard 3.5" SAS and SATA hard drive. Customers can avoid the expense of replacing entire ThunderboltTM storage appliances and upgrade at their own pace.

Each RocketStor 6300 solution can support daisy chaining, one after another, 7 total devices including ThunderboltTM Displays, I/O Adapters, PCIe expansion stations and drive docks.

The RocketStor 6328AS includes a streamlined web-based user interface designed to simplify the storage configuration process. Intuitive and Preemptive RAID Storage measures add additional layers of data security to redundant RAID 5 and 6 configurations. Advanced management features allow customers to configure Email notification, and manage storage remotely via a local network connection.
