VessRAID allows users to power down the entire system when the disk drives have not been accessed or are not scheduled to be accessed for some time. Periodically, the system performs a disk-to-disk backup or restore operation on a user-scheduled basis. When the operation is finished, the VessRAID returns to standby mode. Meanwhile, the Wake-on-LAN feature provides added flexibility, enabling authorized hosts to access the VessRAID over a network or over the Internet at anytime. VessRAID 1740s and 1840s use 80 PLUS certified power supplies. 80 PLUS power supplies lower energy consumption through greater efficiency, as well as reducing of heat output, maintenance costs, and total cost of ownership.Total Green Power results in a dramatic reduction of idle spinning time of disk drives, extending their service life, reducing the probability of failure, lowering the amount of heat the subsystem generates, and cutting the amount of power the subsystem consumes. All of these mean significant cost savings for your business as well as a more environmentally friendly workplace.
