The VTrak 15100--small in price, big on capability
The VTrak 15100 leverages high performance, hot-swap Serial ATA drives - the cost-effective benchmark for high-density storage - offering an exceptional entry point for direct attach servers and small clusters. Industry-standard SCSI host ports provide legacy connectivity support. Enterprise-ready features, such as fully redundant power and cooling, a battery-backed cache, and Promise's patented Predictive Data Migration(TM) and PerfectRAID(TM) technologies provide high levels of availability and data integrity.

High storage density for flexibility and economy
The VTrak 15100 packs up to 15 drives per system in just 3U of standard 19" rack space. The VTrak's compact form factor maximizes density, increasing capacity per unit of rack space. By taking advantage of unsurpassed capacity of SATA and PATA drives, the VTrak system delivers the highest capacity levels available. Multiple VTrak systems can also be daisy chained using standard SCSI bus features to deliver massive storage to capacity hungry applications such as disk-to-disk backup and media archiving.

Simple, yet powerful remote management
Promise Array Manager enables effective configuration and monitoring of all VTrak systems in your network through an easy-to-manage Web-based user interface. Array configuration, management and reporting features are available via the web-based management GUI and accessible via the Ethernet port. Additionally the VTrak family simplifies integration with third-party management applications using industry-standard SNMP and WBEM.

Sophisticated Array Monitoring Tools
Promise Array Management monitoring software offers professional management tools in a simple-to-use, straightforward format. The software works locally or via network TCP/IP connection to monitor arrays. Information windows appear during critical and user-specified events. The software can even be configured to send e-mail notification should an error occur.
