Xtore to Unveil 4U 48-Bay Ultra-Density SAS JBOD

Xtore has announced it will showcase XJ-SA24-448R-S, an ultra-density intelligent tiered storage enclosure at the Storage Networking World (SNW), slated for October 31 – November 3, 2006 at Orlando, Florida.

XJ-SA24-448R-S, a 4U 48-bay ultra-density JBOD enclosure under Xtore XJ2000 JBOD series introduces a whole new era of data storage architecture design and maintenance. The innovative dual-drive brick carrier design doubles the storage capacity a conventional storage enclosure can deliver. Up to forty-eight 3.5-inch form-factor SAS/SATA drives can be mix-matched in this enclosure for cost-effective SATA or mission critical SAS storage environments. XJ-SA24-448R-S supports up to 36TB of SAS/SATA data storage at its 24-inch depth with optimized thermal solution. The universal SAS/SATA backplane enables up to 48Gbps transfer rate through four wide host/expansion channels, two per interface module. The cable-less, modular enclosure design with hot-swap components and redundant features increase reliability and ease of maintenance.

This new line of XJ2000 JBOD series is designed for demanding network storage applications, including enterprise data center, video and data streaming, disk-to-disk backup, disaster management and ILM/IIM. At SNW, Xtore will team with Adaptec to demonstrate a complete system in live mode, giving IT professionals hands-on experience on what will redefine the standard of storage system architecture and maintenance.
