The EonStor NSS2U12SS subsystem provides multi-lane Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) host interface. It can deliver satisfactory
performance even in transaction-intensive or high-throughput
applications. Scalable with either enterprise-level SAS drives or
cost-effective SATA drives, the subsystem also enables tiered
storage for effective data lifecycle management.
Multi-lane SAS for High Performance
S12S-G1033 adopts SAS technology in its host
interface design, aggregating the 3Gbps bandwidth of four (4)
physical links into a single 12Gbps high-speed port. With two (2)
high-speed SAS host ports, the subsystem overcomes the limitations
of its SCSI predecessors. It can not only be scaled up to the
maximum of 60 drives with easy cabling but sustain the enhanced
performance, high availability and reliability with this scaling.
Smart Scalability with SAS or SATA Drives
Through the one SAS expansion port, the subsystem
offers ample capacity by connecting to the maximum of four (4)
JBODs. The flexible support of both SAS and SATA-II drives allows
integrators to configure the capacity as tiered storage for data
lifecycle management. For mission-critical and frequently-accessed
data, you can choose high-reliability SAS drives. As for near-line
backup, distribution, or archival uses, affordable SATA drives will
be the ideal fit. The optimal mix of these two kinds of drives can
satisfy diverse environment requirements while saving unnecessary
expenses.
