Brand New Infortrend 1U, 12-Bay RAID Subsystem | B12F-R1430
EonStor Fibre-to-SAS Full Featured RAID in a Compact 1U Chassis
The world's first external SFF (2.5-inch disk drive) RAID subsystem. The B12F features unprecedented space efficiency by providing all advanced RAID functions in a 1U enclosure. Using 2.5-inch disk drives allows twice the number of spindles within the same footprint, and hence is ideal for I/O-intensive applications. The B12F supports the capacity expansion with 3 or 4 JBOD enclosures and the flexibility of attaching both SAS or SATA-II disk drives.
The B12F RAID enclosure is designed with all the sophisticated high availability features including redundant RAID controllers, a passive backplane, cross-controller 'sync. cache' channels, redundant cooling and power supply modules. Highest performance and spindle density is achieved within the compact design which previously requires 2U or more rack space. Thanks to the low vibration and reduced airflow requirements of 2.5-inch drives, the B12F runs with higher reliability. As a reminder, the B12F does not compromise on its advanced RAID functionality because of its compact size. The B12F supports RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, multi-level logical volumes, and all the renowned firmware functionality as other EonStor series models.
Why 2.5-Inch?
Infortrend is the first to introduce 2.5" disk drives in external RAID enclosures. Using 2.5" drives allow you to implement more spindles in less than half of rackmount space than using the 3.5" counterparts. More spindles mean higher IOPS performance. 2.5-inch SAS disk drives are designed for environment requiring higher reliability (with an outstanding 1.7 million hours MTBF) and higher I/O density. The benefits of 2.5" disk drives are obvious:
- 70% smaller: Think about the estimated $1000 cost per square foot in an average data center. Now you can install 2.5 times of hard drives in the same data center footprint.
- Consumes 40% less power: In addition to cost reduction, less power means a cooler enclosure, and therefore a higher overall reliability.
- Higher MTBF: High-end 15,000RPM 2.5-inch SAS drives feature a 1.6 million hour MTBF, which is 15 percent higher than the 1.4 million hour by 3.5-inch disk drives.
