BigNews.Biz - Aug 16,2009 - San Diego, Calif – August 17, 2009 - Chassis Plans, The Original Industrial Computer Source®, a market leader in providing rugged rackmount systems to the military and other challenging markets, today introduced the SA2U-12EHP Extreme High IOPS Rackmount RAID Disk Storage System.
The SA2U-12EHP scales to support up to 108 mixed SAS/SATA disk drives, and up to 81 TBs with 750 GB SATA disk drives, yet offers a small 2U high footprint for high installed density. The SA2U-12EHP offers enhanced processing power, providing more than 1.6 GB/second read and 1.3 GB/second write throughput and 150,000 IOPS. This extreme performance can drive application performance to new heights in a variety of rugged environments.
The SA2U-12EHP features four 4Gb Fibre Channel host ports per controller, with 1GB of mirrored cache per controller; offering up to a total of eight 4Gb Fibre Channel connections per SA2U-12EHP subsystem, and supports SAN, Switchless-SAN(TM) or DAS host connect configurations. Additionally, the product supports multiple redundant paths for clustered server environments.
The SA2U-12EHP offers maximum configuration flexibility, enabling customers to freely mix SAS/SATA drives within the same system, and add JBODs to support up to 108 disk drives in a fully configured system. Customers can also choose either single, dual independent or dual fault-tolerant controllers.
Continuing Chassis Plans’ long history of support to the military and other rugged computing sectors, the SA2U-12EHP is ruggedized, and is both NEBS- and MIL-STD-810F-certified, making it ideal for telco and military/government as well as high-performance computing applications in challenging environments.
The SA2U-12EHP is RoHS- and WEEE-compliant. Chassis Plans also offers the option to leverage more energy-efficient DC power supplies for large-system installations.
