As an ultra-dense, scalable, and cost-effective disk expansion unit, the BSI JBOD features sixty hot-pluggable 3.5”/2.5”, SAS/SATA, HDDs/SSDs in a 4U enclosure and provides shared direct-attached-storage to up to four servers simultaneously via four redundant external mini-SAS ports. Major components including power supplies, fans, and SAS Interface Modules are redundant and hot-pluggable with high availability.
Details
The design is optimised for the general-purpose needs of enterprise and service provider datacenters where the lowest operational cost-per-watt and smallest footprint are critical to achieving the desired economics.
High Density
The BSI JBOD supports sixty hot-pluggable 3.5”/2.5”, SAS/SATA, HDDs/SSDs in a 4U enclosure, with up to 240TB of storage capacity.
Flexibility
The BSI JBOD provides flexible and scalable disk configuration and combination. It supports 2.5” and/or 3.5”, SAS and/or SATA, HDD and/or SSD, and different disk capacity options. Users can configure various disk options to address their unique needs and performance requirements.
The BSI JBOD can be daisy chained with another, offering 120 drives and up to 480 TB of storage.
Cost-effectiveness
The unit can be shared with up to four servers via multi-lane Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host interfaces, allowing these customers to enjoy the efficiency of ultra-dense storage across multiple physical servers.
Reliability & High Availability
BSI JBOD supports dual high-efficiency redundant power supplies and four hot-pluggable fans, ensuring reliability and continuous availability in mission-critical datacenter environment. Hot-pluggable redundant SAS interface modules provides dual data paths and ensure continuous operation.
Ultra-high storage densities can present substantial mechanical engineering challenges from the sheer mass of rotating media. Interference from vibration caused by hard disk rotation is isolated in the BSI JBOD to assure reliability and high performance across a range of loading and access scenarios.
Serviceability & Manageability
With its innovative coverless, top access HDD design, BSI JBOD significantly reduces service and maintenance complexity.
The BSI JBOD is designed for large/medium-size datacenters, cloud service providers, financial, and education applications with lower CAPEX, OPEX, and satisfying overall performance.
