EonStor GSx
- Built-in Infortrend Parallel File System integrates I/O nodes and metadata servers into the appliance - no separate metadata servers, I/O node servers, or parallel file system software required.
- A single GSx unit delivers up to 43GB/s read and 16.5GB/s write; a 10-appliance cluster scales performance nearly 10x.
- Scale-out to up to 10 appliances with a single namespace; SAS HDD models scale up with JBOD enclosures adding over 270 drives per appliance.
- SAS HDD models support U.2 NVMe SSD cache for metadata and small files, plus SAS SSD hybrid tiering for hot data.
- Dual redundant controllers with super capacitor + flash module cache backup; RAID 5/6 disk protection and remote replication for disaster recovery.
