Overview

High Performance SAN Storage

The Colossus is a high-performance, energy-efficient, tiered storage solution, ideal for use in expanding data environments. It serves as the ideal solution for disk-to-disk backup, archive, and other storage-intensive applications. The Colossus provides greater storage density (in terms of GB per rack unit) than any other storage product currently available. With more than 2x the storage capacity, up to 2x the throughput, and data transfer rates up to 100 MB/s (~15%) faster than the nearest competitor, the iXsystems Colossus addresses and exceeds the increasing demand for storage systems capable of managing and maintaining vast amounts of business-critical data.

Features of the iXsystems Colossus SAN RAID Storage Device include the following:

• Throughput: Two 4Gb Fiber hosts per controller for up to 16Gb continuous transfer.
• Performance: Data Transfer Rates of up to 400 MB/s per controller and 800 MB/s full duplex.
• Storage Capacity: 48 SATA-II drive bays, ensures up to 48 TB of storage in only 4U of rack space.
• Scalability: JBOD expansion allows an additional 48 hard drives of storage capacity to be added to the unit. That's 96 drives, managed and operated through one RAID unit.
• Density: Up to 96TB in 8U of Rack space = 12TB per rack unit.
• Manageability: Web-based management utility provides the ability to discover, monitor, configure, and report on multiple arrays from any existing Internet connection.
• Fault Tolerance/Redundancy: *True* Dual Active-Active RAID Controllers = greater uptime and system reliability.
• On-line RAID Volume & LUN Expansion: Drives can be added to grow existing RAID volumes on the fly, without any downtime. LUN sizes can also be changed without taking the system out of production.
• RAID6 Capable: Greater reliability through additional parity drive = far lower chance of data loss during a RAID rebuild.
• Warranty: 3 Years of advance-exchange overnight cross-ship parts replacement (hard drives included); NBD & 24x7 On-Site Service also available.

iXsystems Colossus RAID and JBOD units are currently available directly from iXsystems and its Authorized Value Added Reseller Partners. Industry-leading pricing will vary based on the configuration and storage capacity needed.
