The S16F-R1840 and S16F-G1840 arrays are targeted at the enterprise-class storage area network (SAN) market. It is among the first of Infortrend's products to come with ASIC667 (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) and easy-to-maintain modular design.
"As the deployment of 8Gb/s Fibre Channel solutions continue to increase, QLogic and Infortrend are uniquely positioned to deliver interoperable storage solutions for performance-driven data center environments," said Joseph Kimpler, director of alliances, QLogic Corp. "The Infortrend RAID subsystems are fully compatible with QLogic's industry-leading 8Gb Fibre Channel adapters and switches, and provide the robustness and performance that are critical for today's virtualized data centers."
Industry trends show that the adoption of 8Gb/s fibre channel will continue to increase this year due to the significant drop of desktop storage cost from dollars per megabyte to cents per gigabyte, as well as the high correlation between server virtualization and SANs. It is expected to become the dominant protocol for future enterprise SAN. Infortrend has long anticipated this trend which culminated in the development of the next-generation 8Gb/s FC storage subsystem S16F-R/G1840.
"The joint efforts between Infortrend and ATTO bring customers the most value as they implement 8Gb Fibre Channel technology. We are doing more strict tests to provide optimized solutions for easy adoption and integration of ATTO 8Gb HBAs with Infortrend's newly launched 8Gb storage," said Christopher M. Gauvin, partner marketing specialist at ATTO Technology.
"With Infortrend's newly launched 8Gb storage and ATTO's Celerity HBAs, customers can experience all of the impressive performance benefits 8Gb technology has to offer."
Based on the next-generation RAID engine, the 16-drive S16F-R/G1840 subsystem is highly scalable up to 112-drive installation through expansion closures, allowing enterprises to expand their business as their data grows. It has two 8G FC host ports on each controller and has the capability to deliver as high as 2,800 MB/s read and 870MB/s write which is very ideal for processing of large amount of data often required by data centers.
Based on a High Availability (HA) modular hardware design, all redundant modules including controllers, power supplies, cooling fans and BBUs [Battery Backup Unit] are hot-swappable to achieve high fault-tolerance capability.
