AC&NC JetStor 12G JBOD Platforms Certified for Storage Spaces in Windows Server 2016

Offers alternative to traditional approaches for housing vast data troves.

Advanced Computer & Network Corporation (AC&NC) announced that its JetStor 12G JBOD platforms have been certified by Microsoft for Storage Spaces in Windows Server 2016.

Enterprises of all sizes can use the reliable JetStor 12G solutions for their burgeoning storage needs rather than architecting SANs or NAS with expensive and proprietary arrays.

By using DataBolt technology, the JetStor 12G systems can deliver 12Gb/s performance to support storage applications, such as Hadoop deployments, while Storage Spaces provides the resiliency to safeguard business-critical data. The combination of the JetStor 12G JBODs and Storage Spaces offers an alternative to traditional approaches for housing vast data troves, which have proven costly to build and complex to administer.

Businesses wresting with storage can now get the functionality and efficiencies of virtualized environments, but with JBODs rather than mid- and top-tier arrays,” said Gene Leyzarovich, president, AC&NC. “By deploying Microsoft-certified JetStor 12G JBODs with Storage Spaces, companies obtain high-end performance and data protection affordably and simply.

A feature on Windows Server 2016, 2012, and 2012 R2, Storage Spaces allows organizations to virtualize shared storage for scalable provisioning and management. They can group standard disks-either mechanical or SSDs in cost-effective JBOD arrays-into virtualized storage pools. From the available capacity in the storage pools, they then can create virtual disks called Storage Spaces, which offer functionality to avoid data loss.

Economically delivering terabytes of fast storage
The JetStor 12G JBODs are 2U, 3U or 4U rackmount chassis that feature the 12Gb SAS 3.0 interface. Their DataBolt technology removes the SAS limitations plaguing large storage arrays, making high-speed throughput affordable even for small businesses.

Microsoft certified three models, each of which supports both SSD and SAS drives. The JetStor 816J and 824J4 systems support 2.5″ and 3.5″ drives. The JetStor 816J has 16-bays for as much as 160TB of storage, and the 824J4 has 24-bays for up to 240TB of storage. The JetStor 824J supports 2.5″ drives and features 24-bays for up to 46TB of capacity.

All drives are hot-swappable and data are automatically rebuilt on new drives. Multiple drives can be designated as hot-spares to allow the solutions to transparently move data to spares should errors be detected. Capacity can be increased and drives replaced while data remains online.

The JetStor 12G JBOD systems are engineered for non-stop operation with a cableless design. They feature dual hot-swappable power supplies with integrated turbo-cooling and separate power connections, and dual hot-swappable controllers.

They ship with the Raid Manager application to allow administrators to use any browser to proactively manage, configure and monitor the platforms.
