2PB Cabinet by Winchester Systems

Winchester Systems Inc. introduced the PS-4500 FlashDisk PetaStore cabinet that provides high density data storage for big data applications.

It fits 528 disks in 46U of rack space totaling over 2PB using 4 TB disk drives.

FlashDisk PetaStore is intended to service the amount of data required for large scale scientific, healthcare, e-discovery, financial, e-mail archive and database applications as well as unfathomable numbers of photo, video, audio, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and social media files – plus multiple backup copies.

FlashDisk PetaStore delivers up to 12GB/s write speed and 20GB/s read speed – actual measured results.

"With unprecedented high density, and data access speeds to match, we expect PetaStore to bring great delight to the people with petabyte-scale applications at truly reasonable cost," stated Ted Gumer, VP Sales and Business Development. "FlashDisk PetaStore delivers an overwhelming value in capacity and performance per dollar," he added.

FlashDisk PetaStore is set up and manage with FlashDisk Global Manager which allows multiple FlashDisk arrays to be managed from a single pane of glass. It offers both SAN block storage and NAS files storage and supports CIFS and NFS volumes. Host ports are either FC or iSCSI. The storage is self-serviceable and all components are front or rear hot-swappable.

FlashDisk PetaStore is configured to order. Delivery is 2-3 weeks.
