| Verari Systems Introduces VB5150 Storage Subsystem Verari Systems has announced the Verari Systems BladeRack 2 VB5150 Storage Subsystem, a new storage solution designed to address a broad set of network-attached storage requirements in both HPC and Enterprise markets. The flexibility in deploying the storage modules makes the VB5150 Storage Subsystem appealing to a broad category of customers and is particularly well-suited for applications requiring low cost per terabyte, high capacity network attached storage. The VB5150 Storage Subsystem is made up of a VB1150 Head Node and four VB1055S Disk Blades. The Head Node contains the NAS I/O processing, RAID controller and the power and connectivity to the four VB1055S Disk Blades. Each VB1055S Disk Blade houses 10 SATA II or SAS hot swappable hard drives (40 total per VB5150 Storage Subsystem) providing a total capacity of 30TB per VB5150 Storage Subsystem. Twelve VB5150 Storage Subsystems can be deployed in a single BladeRack 2 platform providing a total capacity of 360TB in a single rack while requiring only 7.6 square feet of floor space. Similar to Verari's other blade offerings, the VB5150 can be mixed with other compute and I/O blade offerings in the same BladeRack 2 rack allowing for greater flexibility. The VB5150 Storage Subsystem is specifically designed for the BladeRack 2 platform and incorporates the patented vertical cooling and efficient power utilization of the BladeRack 2. The VB5150 Storage Subsystem can be centrally managed along with other Verari Systems' BladeRack 2 compute and I/O blade offerings through the recently announced Verari Command Center management software. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
