Storage firm Xyratex has introduced a new storage platform, OneStor 2584 for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) providers targeting converged infrastructure applications and scale-out storage systems for the cloud and data centres.
The new storage platform, which is designed to meet data growth and management challenges, combines the storage density, server integration, platform management and power efficiency.
OneStor 2584 delivers up to two petabytes of enterprise grade storage in a standard data centre rack using 3TB drives and improves rack utilisation by as much as 67% over current enclosure technologies.
Each storage platform can pack up to 84 3.5" or 2.5" SAS or SATA hard disk or solid state drives into a five rack unit (5U) enclosure.
The new release is available in two configurations, OneStor SP-2584 and OneStor AP-2584.
OneStor SP-2584 is an ultra-dense modular storage enclosure which uses single or dual 6Gb/s SAS I/O modules, supports 6Gb/s SAS end-to-end configurations offering a throughput of up to 14.4 GB/s.
OneStor AP-2584 is an ultra-dense application platform that includes one or two embedded server modules, application power protection and storage and data network connections.
Both OneStor SP-2584 and OneStor AP-2584 include Xyratex’ Unified Systems Management (USM), an application programming interface (API), which delivers reliability, availability and serviceability by accessing active sensors, management of server, enclosure services and automated policy based actions.
