ION Computer Systems, an Intel channel partner, has introduced its new TerastatION4 with the Intel S5520HC motherboard. The offering reportedly brings new advancements in memory, power, I/O, management and security, optimising the platform for the demands of multi-core processing.
The terastatION4 features a new chassis design which includes the flexibility of mixing solid state drives (SSD), with SAS and/or SATA disks in the same chassis.
Paul Scheremeta, vice president of marketing at ION, said: “The introduction of the terastatION4, offered in a 2U, 3U, 5U or 8U chassis with storage capabilities ranging from 2TB to 50TB (Terabytes) coupled with the enhancements in processing power, I/O performance and drive technology makes a choice for those looking for flexible storage solutions that address the needs of disaster recovery, Virtual Tape Libraries, NAS, or iSCSI as well as addressing the memory and processor demands of Data Deduplication.”
