4U 60-Bay EBOD
Ultra-Dense, Cost-Effective SAS/SATA Storage Expansion
4U (60) 3.5” Drive Enclosures
Data storage capacity continues to expand exponentially. Today’s business environment requires simple, easy ways to dramatically grow online disk capacity to meet exponential data growth rates.
The 4U 60-Bay Ultra-Dense 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA JBOD solution enables massive data capacity applications, at a price/performance point per Gigabyte(GB) that meets your fast-moving business requirements. Besides functioning as a standalone external direct attached storage (DAS) JBOD for standard serial attached SCSI (SAS) host connect, it is a perfect expansion companion for other RAID Inc storage products.
With up to 60 3.5” form factor SAS and/or SATA Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) per 4U enclosure, the industry-unique EBOD is an ultra-dense, space and power savings solution. This 4U EBOD fits nicely into a standard 19” wide, 1m long, 42U rack that easily creates a 45TB/U (w/ 3TB SATA HDDs) data expansion building block that can be zoned to up to four different DAS Hosts. Additional JBODs can be daisy chained to support deeper storage pools as supported by industry standard SAS HBAs and SAS RAID HBAs.
