WebPAM PROe
High performance, embedded management-
software for the VTrak RAID Strorage Sy-
stems
The VTrak RAID storage system features an
embedded management software, WebPAM
PROe, that eliminates the need to install additi-
onal software on the network. All VTrak systems
in your network can be configured and monito-
red through single, easy-to-manage webbased
graphic user interface. The software works
through the VTrak system’s Ethernet port — lo-
cally, across a LAN, or across an internet con-
nection — to configure and monitor one or multi-
ple VTrak system(s) and provide error reporting
through pop-up messages, event logging, or
email notification. In the event of a controller
failure, Promise’s management software will
also seamlessly failover and failback. The VTrak
family also simplifies integration with third-party
management applications using industry-stan-
dard SNMP and CIM protocols.
The most important management functions:
1. Configurations Active/Active - Passive/Pas-
sive set failover/failback for „No Single Point of
Failure“ applications.
2. Interface setup, for example: IP Address, Ser-
ver-Name, Read-/Write Modus, Cable sizes.
3. HDD-Arrays, RAID-Level, LUN Management
4. RAID Level Migration. Example: a HDD ar-
ray is migrated from RAID level 1 towards RAID
level 5
5. Online Capacity Expansion (OCE): an exi-
sting HDD array can be expanded with extra
HDD while the system is in process.
6. HotSpare Functionality: The VTrak E-Class
supports both „Multiple Globale HotSpare“, as
well as „Dedicated HotSpare“.
7. Event Notification: Email, NET SEND; audible
(buzzer), and visible (LEDs) alarms
8. Systemstatus and System-/Error-Log: with the
use of WebPAM PROe the system status of all
sectors and components can be monitored at all
times. System- and failure reports will be stored
and are available in the system‘s history.
NOTE:
The VTrak RAID storage systems can also be
managed over a Command Line Interface (CLI)
with the use of a serial or GbE- (1Gb/s Ethernet)
connection.

In a No Single Point of Failure (NSPOF)
structure all components in a server-
/storage system have been duplicated.
In case of failure, this means the fall-
out of one of the two components; the
second unit will take over all tasks. The
functionality and data transfer of the
total system remains active. The ope-
ratibility and data integrity of the com-
plete IT-environment will be noticeably
increased by a NSPOF-environment
and is significant for the data availabili-
ty of the user. The data availability lays
around 99%.
