Grande Vitesse Systems nomadic 2U Spec



nomadic 2U enterprise secure storage technical specifications


Total storage in 2U rack space:
240.0TB-2.0PB RAID combines Fibre, SAS and iSCSI storage technologies with Fibre Channel Speed and data protection with iSCSI controller access to the same data over TC/IP network in a

For hard drive capacity measurements, 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity is less by 5% based on OS. Maximum capacity of 48TB achieved through use of 12x4TB Nomadic 2U Drive Modules. 3.4GB/sec per controller Actual rates will vary based on host interface. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process. GVS custom configures each Nomadic 2U based on customer specification from block size. Each drive goes through an extensive burn-in period prior to shipment.
