Demanding
and industrial environments can often cause electrical and computer components
to malfunction or fail completely. One such environmental challenge is
maintaining the performance and reliability of computer-based data storage.
Vartech Systems has met this challenge with the implementation of RAID 5
support in their line of rugged, all-in-one panel pc computer systems.
Featuring NEMA 4 IP65 and NEMA 4X IP66 construction, these rugged LCD and LED panel
computers exceed performance expectation in industries such as transportation,
automation, packaging and assembly lines, visual inspection stations, oil /
drilling rigs, surface mining as well as control rooms.
RAID 5 is a
storage technology combining multiple disk drive components into a single,
redundancy, data-backup and retrieval system. RAID 5 uses block-level striping
with parity data across a minimum of 3 disk drives. This RAID level utilizes a
parity check bit to analyze whether data has been lost or altered. One of the
greatest strengths of RAID 5, other than its performance and data protection,
is the ability for hot-swappable disk drive replacements during operation in
case of a disk failure. This means less down time during production increasing
overall efficiency as well as insuring safeguards against lost or corrupted
information.
This level
of RAID protection is now available on select Vartech Systems’ panel pc
computers including NEMA 4 and NEMA 4X panel pcs, sunlight readable panel pcs
and iCore processor based panel pcs for screen sizes 15 Inches and up. All of Vartech’s
panel pc computers also come standard with resistive touch technology
eliminating the need for a mouse and keyboard.
