VTrak Overview

host connectivity, support for 6 Gb/s SAS and SATA disks and a next-generation
embedded storage I/O processing platform out to set a new performance
standard while providing a reliable, flexible and easy to manage RAID storage
system.
Performance
The PROMISE VTrak Ex30f is built using the Intel’s next-generation storage
platform, the Intel Xeon processor C5500/C3500 series to keep pace with
