It is a full featured, scalable and cost effective block storage solution suitable for use in challenging multi-tenant data center environments. It is available with support for 16Gb FC, 40GbE iSCSI and 56Gb IB networks.

The OSA-Fx60 is a performance, high density all flash storage array, designed for the disaggregated data center. It provides performance and density in a 2U form factor with up to 128G of controller memory. It provides a high resiliency, no single point of failure system including hot swap dual storage controllers. Other field replaceable units include disks, PSUs and fans.

Designed for performance storage use cases, the OSA-Fx60 supports a range of SAN protocols including iSCSI, iSER, FC and IB. Based on the firm’s Orkestra-SAM software, it provides a range of volumes services often required in multi-tenancy configurations, including in-line data compression and de-duplication, along with IO/s rate limiting.

Supporting a range of connectivity, the OSA-Fx60 is available in a range of SAN configurations including 8x8Gb FC, 4x16Gb FC, 4x40G or 100GbE or 4x56Gb IB. Ethernet ports can be bonded for increased performance.
