Arraid Products in Power & Utility
Arraid has played a major role in Simulation & Training, helping Customers deal with storage related problems. Training devices are used throughout government and industry. Whenever people need to learn how to operate and use complex equipment or systems, such as vehicles, aircraft, ships, manufacturing or power plants, simulators and other training devices provide a safe economical means to teach the skills required.
Training devices come in many shapes and sizes ranging from small, PC driven devices, usually with a limited purpose, to large computer systems combined with visual and motion systems for simulation of commercial and military aircraft. A key metric for simulators and training devices is trainer availability. Whether meeting an organization's internal training requirements, or providing a revenue stream, the trainer must be available when scheduled. The trainer support team is constantly challenged to control and minimize downtime. Unfortunately, while the host computers and interfaces may remain reliable and maintainable, legacy storage products don't.
For these older computer systems, Arraid provides COTS storage emulation solutions, integrating ARRAIDs proprietary FPGA based solid state Flash Drive (AFD), it can extend the life of mission critical systems and help to insure optimum availability. For early SCSI systems we have both JBOD chassis and replacement SCSI Flash Drive modules. For more current systems, Arraid can provide NAS and RAID storage modules to increase system capabilities and performance.
