Expanded VMETRO SANbric™ Sealed Cartridge Deploys 6 High Speed Hard Drives

LEESBURG, VA – January 28, 2009 — Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing, a leading supplier of rugged embedded boards and subsystems for the rugged deployed Aerospace and Defense market has announced a new expanded version of its popular SANbric™ storage subsystem, a rugged removable rotating media storage system for high altitude applications. Now available with up to 2.7 terabytes (TB) of hard drive storage, the SANbric deploys six 3.5”drives in a JBOD configuration supported by a dual high-speed Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (FC SAN) communications architecture. SANbric is designed for use in the harsh environments typical of military aerospace intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance applications such as ELINT, COMINT, SIGINT, SAR, MTI, and SDR. SANbric enables system integrators to rapidly and easily deploy a high-performance, high-capacity storage system at a cost significantly less than that of solid-state FLASH memory–based alternatives.

“Curtiss-Wright’s SANbric delivers unmatched high density storage in a compact rugged removable cartridge,” said Gorky Chin, vice president and general manager of Data Communications, Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. “With its high-speed Fibre Channel architecture and environmental isolation methodologies, SANbric is ideal for demanding storage applications in harsh-environments.”

SANbric, locked in its shock isolation unit (SIU), is designed to operate under shock and vibration conditions, over a wide temperature range and at high altitude. It uniquely deploys six FC disk drives in a single sealed cartridge, reducing system weight and simplifying cabling and connectivity between the drives. The isolation provided from harsh environments enables the use of standard FC disks in many applications previously considered too harsh for rotating media devices.

SANbric is available with a variety of SIU enclosure types and custom SIUs can be developed for program specific requirements. Each SIU is tested to RTCA DO-160 Curve C and T testing. In addition, all SIUs pass shock tests, modeled on the MIL810 standard, including crash shock.

SANbric can be connected to any standard FC adapter or switch for scalability in an FC SAN configuration and is an ideal complement to Curtiss-Wright’s family of 800 MB/s Vortex Data Recording Engines.
