RAID Inc. launches a new dense, performance solution, the 4U 60-Bay Ability
Storage Server, designed for cloud, Windows Server 2012, and various I/O server
and ZFS applications.
Powered by the Xeon processor E5-2600 product family, the server nodes
provide advanced capabilities to retrieve data from 60 full-height drives and
protect against data loss in the event of power faults using an optional backup
battery pack. A nontransparent bus allows bridging of two server nodes for
redundancy or computational expansion when running Linux. A dual slot expansion
card further enables users to use a variety of PCI E cards, including RAID SAS
and network cards, and the onboard SAS controller provides bridging fabric
between the processors and the storage.
"The 4U 60-Bay Ability Storage Server is
flexible by design and can be optimized for a variety of applications,"
said Bob Picardi, CEO, RAID Inc. "It’s
one of the most versatile platforms we’ve seen to date and pairs the best
combination of performance and cost-effectiveness."
