Infortrend B12F Fibre to SAS
B12F-R1430
B12F-G1430
The world’s first external SFF (2.5-inch disk drive) RAID subsystem. The Infortrend B12F features unprecedented space efficiency by providing all advanced RAID functions in a 1U enclosure. Using 2.5-inch disk drives allows twice the number of spindles within the same footprint, and hence is ideal for I/O-intensive applications. The Infortrend B12F supports the capacity expansion with 3 or 4 JBOD enclosures and the flexibility of attaching both SAS or SATA-II disk drives.
Higher Reliability and Better Performance:
2.5-inch SAS disk drives are designed for environment requiring higher reliability (with an outstanding 1.7 million hours MTBF) and higher I/O density. The benefits of 2.5″ disk drives are obvious:
- 70% smaller: Think about the estimated $1000 cost per square foot in an average data center. Now you can install 2.5 times of hard drives in the same data center footprint.
- Consumes 40% less power: In addition to cost reduction, less power means a cooler enclosure, and therefore a higher overall reliability.
- Higher MTBF: High-end 15,000RPM 2.5-inch SAS drives feature a 1.6 million hour MTBF, which is 15 percent higher than the 1.4 million hour by 3.5-inch disk drives.
Software
SANWatch, the storage management suite, provides all functions necessary to discover, configure, administer, and monitor Infortrend’s EonStor RAID arrays ->
SANWatch Snapshot is tailor-made to provide instantaneous point-in-time copies of data that look and behave like complete backups without consuming equivalent disk space for EonStor RAID subsystem. ->
EonPath provides multipath IO function by recognizing and managing the redundant paths to an individual RAID volume.->
RAIDWatch Manager is a tailored, full-featured, cross-platform, RAID management software progam that provides a user-friendly interface, with graphically represents disk array elements and simplifies the normally complicated process of array configuration. ->
