Infortrend's next-generation 8Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) storage system - S16F-R/G1840 - is designed to meet the harshest performance demands in data center. Blazing throughput, robust availability and advanced technology - it provides an ideal choice to support enterprise-class SAN for mission-critical applications.

High-speed SAN with Powerful Scalability

Seeing 8G FC as the common protocol in future enterprise SAN, Infortrend furnishes all its EonStor G6 Fibre-to-SAS/SATA models with four 8G FC host ports on each controller for flexible connectivity. When data grow out of the capacity threshold of a single subsystem, through expansion enclosure attachment, S12F models can be expanded to house a maximum of 84 drives, while both S16F and S24F can be scaled up to an installation housing more than one hundred drives. Based on the new-generation RAID engine as its heart, the G6 Fibre-to-SAS/SATA Series can deliver outstanding throughput power to process large amounts of data. The no-delay, smooth operations it enables can satisfactorily meet the service levels your business requires. Coupled with the broad support for enterprise-level OS, such as Windows Server 2008, Solaris , Linux , and server virtualization, such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-VTM , it can serve as data storage for top-tier applications.

Features and Benefits
  • Four 8G FC ports on each controller, delivering up to 2.600 MB/s Read and 1.200 MB/s Write performance
  • 6th generation, G6 (ASIC667) architecture: boost up to 80% better performance than ASIC 400 models; advanced fault tolerance, ensuring data integrity even in multiple drive failure events
  • CacheSafe technology: Backup battery automatically supplies power to write cached data into flash module for permanent protection during power outage
  • Scalability: Scaled to houseup to 112 drives through expansion enclosures
  • Reliability and Availability: High Availability (HA) modular design achieves high fault tolerant capability against hardware component failure
  • Green: Power supplies delivering high energy efficiency: Dynamic cooling mechanism; Intelligent drive spin-down

Robust Availability and Reliability

The EonStor G6 S16F-R/G1840 is based on High Availability (HA) modular design. All redundant hardware modules, including controllers, power supplies, cooling fans and BBUs, are hot-swappable to achieve high fault-tolerant capability. The S16F also provides comprehensive RAID functions to protect data against drive failure. When one or two drive fail(s), users can enjoy continuous accessibility to the data of full integrity and later use hot spare to restore the data volume back to its RAID-protected state. To better safeguard cached data, the G6 S16F arrays also come with new CacheSafe technology. During accidental power outage, BBU will automatically supply power to write the cached data into flash for permanent retention. The 72-hour BBU power limitation will no longer be the deadline of your cached data.

Easy Management

Through the feature-rich management suite, SANWatch, users can centrally manage multiple EonStor G6 subsystems locally or remotely over LAN/WAN. In the portal window, an overview of all subsystems is displayed to provide status summary and event info. Only with a few clicks, users can easily access the functions necessary to configure, maintain or monitor the arrays. Besides providing all firmware features through user-friendly GUI, SANWatch also supports script-based configuration of multiple subsystems at a time. When critical events happen, system would automatically notify users through various configurable methods for real-time handling. With SANWatch, initializing Eonstor G6 arrays for applications and maintaining their non-stop operation will all be easy to realize.

Green Technologies

Participating in the prevalent trend of green IT, Infortrend enhances energy efficiency of all its EonStor G6 models through many green technologies. Intelligent drive spin-down, dynamic cooling mechanisms and power supplies delivering more than 80 energy efficiency - all these designs reduce the energy consumption of G6 subsystems. When integrating them into the G6 models, Infortrend carefully minimize their impacts on performance. The G6 series are not only green, but smartly green.
