| Up to 60 Disks
|
Unsurpassed storage density and capacity in 4U.
|
| Mix SAS, SATA, and SSD drives
|
Optimize storage for cost, capacity, and performance to meet the needs of varying applications.
|
| Active Drawer Technology
|
Allows one person to easily gain access to hot-swappable disks and fans, in any of the three sliding drawers, which remain operational when opened.
|
| High Availability
|
Can be configured so there is no single point of failure between the servers and storage system, or within the storage system. All power, fans, disks, and I/O ports are fully redundant.
|
| Active / Active
|
When both controllers are health, they each service storage requests, delivering twice the performance of the active/passive architecture offered by others.
|
| Energy Savings
|
AutoMAID is the industry’s most sophisticated power management system. Drives which contain backups or occasionally accessed data can be powered down when not being used, saving up to 87% on electricity and cooling costs.
|
| Anti-vibration Design
|
Hard drives are mounted so that all disks are not spinning in the same direction. This, plus the advanced anti-vibration chassis combine to provide unprecedented hard drive MTBFs.
|
| Cool Drive Technology
|
The chassis is designed to deliver uniform, plentiful airflow that is not subject to a single point of failure. The hot-swappable fan on the front of a drawer pulls in air, and two fans at the rear push the air out.
|
| Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN Connectivity
|
Each controller provides two 8Gb/sec Fibre Channel ports, and two 1Gb/s iSCSI connections – all four ports can be used simultaneously in SAN or direct-attached applications.
|
| Revolutionary Ease of Administration
|
A built-in Web server utilizes the dedicated 100Mb/s Ethernet port to deliver an industry-leading GUI that sets the gold standard for ease of management.
|
| 4GB Battery-backed Cache per Controller
|
The two RISC engines on each controller share a 4GB high speed cache which is supplied with enough battery power to permit it to be saved to flash memory in the event of a sudden loss of power.
|
| Hardware RAID
|
Supports RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 4, 5, and 6 using two dedicated hardware RAID engines per controller. RAID6 protects against the failure of two drives in a RAID set.
|
| Automatic RAID Set Maintenance
|
In the event of a drive failure, spare drives are automatically added to a RAID set and a RAID set rebuild is run – all without any manual intervention being required. Administrator can receive email alerts, SNMP alerts, or monitor the storage system’s health remotely.
|
| Flexible Storage Configuration
|
Supports multiple RAID sets and multiple volumes per set with full LUN security and up to 254 LUNS per system.
|
| Redundant Power
|
Dual redundant 220-240V power supplies
|
|
Rack
|
A 1200 mm rack is required to accommodate the depth of the storage system. Cable contol is internal to the storage system’s 3 active drawers.
