UNV - VX1824-V2 - 24 HDD Network Storage Host

Product Overview

The VX1824-V2 is a 24-bay network storage host with a 4U controller enclosure supporting JBOD, RAID 0/1/10/5/50/6, and Intelligent RAID Engine technology. The unit provides 5 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces standard, supports expansion modules up to 4 × 10GbE SFP+, and delivers 1024 Mbps recording bandwidth in IPSAN mode across 512 channels.

Key Configuration

• • 24 HDD slots in 4U chassis, fully configured weight under 43 kg
• • Intel 64-bit multi-core processor with 8 GB RAM (expandable to 64 GB)
• • 5 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet front-end service ports
• • 2 × 4×12 Gbps Mini SAS HD back-end expansion interfaces
• • RAID levels: JBOD, 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6 with dedicated or global hot-spare disks
• • Protocols: iSCSI, NFS, SMB, FTP; up to 1024 host connections

Key Features

• • Intelligent RAID Engine: shields degraded RAID performance impact, optimizes concurrent read/write for video recording and playback
• • SSD Cache for hot data access performance; dynamic RAID reconstruction speed adjustment
• • Super Error Correction (SEC): automatic disk inspection, fault sector repair, and fast disk reconstruction to hot spare
• • Data safe box with embedded UPS protection retains cache data on unexpected power loss
• • Dual BIOS, redundant hot-swappable power supplies, watchdog with secure mode failover
• • Hibernation for unoccupied disks and multistage fan speed for energy conservation

Technical Context

The VX1824-V2 is a carrier-class storage appliance for video surveillance. In IPSAN mode, it supports 512-channel recording at 1024 Mbps total bandwidth with simultaneous 51-channel playback at 102 Mbps. In Video Mode, it adds 512-channel forwarding at 1024 Mbps. The system includes pre-detection disk copying, link aggregation with dynamic failover, and environmental monitoring for CPU, network utilization, LUN/RAID access, voltage, and temperature. Three-dimensional linear expansion allows seamless LUN-based expansion via Mini SAS HD back-end interfaces.
