PAM Installation Options
Following are some examples of ways you can incorporate WebPAM into your
network and RAID systems.
Figure 1. LAN and Internet connections.
In the example above, there are three PCs, each with a FastTrak SX Series RAID
Controller card and a connection to the company’s LAN.
Two Host PCs have an optional SuperSwap enclosure with up to four SATA
physical drives.
The WebPAM runs on each of the PCs with a FastTrak Controller. You can
access WebPAM using a networked PC and also on remote a PC connected to
the company network through the Internet. With this arrangement, you can
monitor RAID condition and activity from offsite, such as a hotel room or home
office.
