HiPerDisk
provides high performance, power-efficient,
cost-efficient and configurable external
SAS storage. For cost and capactiy consideration,
HiPerDisk provides storage in 1U, 2U, 3U
& 4U configurations. All configurations
are designed with dual host and cascade
paths for further capacity expansion. HiPerDisk
has integrated fault tolerance and redundancy
features for maximizing uptime and availability.
The maximum performance per host connection
is 1,200MB/sec, which is higher than a single
4G or even 10G Fibre Channel connection.
The performance of the bus is achieved by
combination of four SAS channels with each
supporting 3Gbps full duplex speed. Together
with a high-speed SAS HBA or SAS RAID controller
card on the server, the storage enclosure
provides not only capacity but unprecedented
performance for applications like High Definition
Video Editing or high speed transaction
applications.
Versatile Cost/ Performance Options
For highest performance and reliability,
systems can be configured with dual I/O
modules and high reliability SAS drives
by providing a 1,200 X 2 MB/sec speed and
dual-port failover capability. An application
for a clustering transaction server can
apply the above scheme with the best throughput
and reliability. On the other hand, customers
looking for performance but no requiring
redundancy can deploy the single I/O module
system with SAS drives without sacrificing
performance and reliability. Applications
such as Video Editing can use pure SAS interface
for on-line storage usage. For the lowest
$/GB consideration customers can apply the
single I/O module system with large capacity
SATA drives to achieve the best performance/cost
investment. It is the best and most cost-effective
near-line or backup storage available.
Standards Compliant Systems management
All
of HPC Systems SAS Disk Enclosures are designed
in a modular base, completed with redundant
and hot-swap I/O modules, fans, and power
supplies for easy maintenance. The systems
support in-band SES (SCSI Enclosure Service)
with embedded SEP for error and status reporting.
Each drive has activity and failure LEDs
to indicate the drive status. Firmware can
be upgraded throughin-band SAS ports or
serial port.
High Density
Design
For cost and capacity consideration, HPC
System provides 4U-48, 3U-16 and 2U-12 solutions,
employing 3.5” drives. For applications
where power consumption, thermal or environmental
elements, and space limitations are considerations,
HPC System provides 1U-10 and 2U-24 enclosures
using 2.5” drives. All of HPC System’s SAS
Disk Enclosures are designed with dual host
and cascade or paths for further capacity
expansion.
Scalabilty
HPC System enclosures support a scalable
solution to manage growing storage needs
via efficient expansion. Each SAS I/O Module
supports a downlink cascade path with four
SAS channels maintaining 1,200MB/s speed.
High performance/availability SAS
drives and high capacity/lower cost
SATA dives in a single system, the flexibility
to reduce total cost of ownership (true
mix-and-match of drives in a single
enclosure)
Six 4-port connect0rs for host or
expansion with automatic port speed
detection and negotiation
Scalable with expansion ports to
couple with business growth
Environment monitoring with SEP/'SES
