The proliferation of digital content in the enterprise has created increasingly complex and costly storage systems. These systems consume large amounts of energy and prevent companies from easily adapting their IT infrastructure as needs change. As the pace of change continues to accelerate, the evolution of storage technologies has become essential. OEMs and solution integrators need an extensible storage infrastructure that provides flexibility, reliability and energy efficiency to meet diverse application requirements. These include applications in digital media, in compliance retention and in data archival.
Delivering a Versatile and Scalable Architecture
The OneStor SP1424s introduces a totally new architecture that leverages the reuse of interchangeable FRUs, a common management API and SBB 2.0 compatibility. This enables OEMs to accelerate market introduction of new technologies and also significantly simplifies development and testing of storage implementations while reducing overhead.
Assuring Robust Data Availability
Through its Genesis Enclosure Management (GEM), OneStor ESP safeguards data and ensures maximum availability. Users are able to leverage fault diagnosis and resolution capabilities, error logging and monitoring. In addition OneStor provides high availability features such as N+1 PSUs, dual I/O modules and dual data paths to all drives.
Generating Energy Efficiency Savings
OneStor minimizes environmental impact through new “green” advancements in Xyratex technology including: scalable power supply profiles based on disk selection; individual drive power control; advanced adaptive cooling technology and 85+ percent efficient power conversion. Additionally OneStor is designed to meet stringent worldwide requirements for recycling and environmental friendliness.
Customizing to Meet OEM Specific Requirements
By utilizing the Xyratex OneStor OEM Developers Kit (ODK) to design custom “personality modules,” OEMs and system integrators can easily tailor deployment of high performance storage solutions as their requirements and technologies evolve. Example personality modules may include server blades, RAID controllers and NAS devices, all of which could then be deployed across the entire OneStor ESP family.
