Infortrend Unveils EonStor DS 3000 4U 60-Bay RAIDs
Up to 1,440TB with 960 drives
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on October 21, 2013 at 2:52 pmInfortrend Technology Inc. announced the launch of EonStor DS 3060 products that deliver high density storage across 60 bays in 4U.
These systems are the largest in the series in terms of size and capacity, and are aimed at enterprises that require consolidated RAID that provides high density, performance, HA, and ease of use. They can be scaled to 1,440TB/960 drives via enclosures. Single controller and dual redundant controller models are available, the latter offering fast failover to ensure high data availability. They are offered in optional high performance versions capable of 1.3M IO/s read speeds and faster execution of operations such as volume rebuild compared to previous DS generations.
They provide customers with a fusion of hardware and data services such as smart media scanning and recovery to protect data integrity, supported by status messages. The modular and cable-free design of controllers, power supplies, and cooling modules leads to simple installs and upgrades, as well as continuous productivity thanks to hot-swap operation that minimizes downtime and work disruption. Drives insert and remove easily due to their vertical alignment, employing HDD brackets rather than more complicated trays. The products offer enterprises a spectrum of benefits while retaining competitive price segmentation.
“Many enterprises wish to consolidate large storage capacities in a single system to better use resources, save space, and simplify IT environments. New EonStor DS 3060 models achieve these goals, offering scalable 4U 60-bay RAID arrays that incorporate all the advantages of the new EonStor DS 3000 series, providing great performance, high reliability and availability, plus user friendly management.” said Thomas Kao, senior director of product planning, Infortrend.
