Performance Features
The SGI InfiniteStorage 4000 RAID storage system has the following basic features:
• Outstanding performance, built on multi-channel end-to-end Fibre Channel
technology.
• Support for fibre channel attached (SCSI-protocol) drive array technology.
• Continuous availability, with constant monitoring and optional redundancy of all
active components.
• Dynamic scalability, making it easy to grow all subsystem resources without
disruption.
• Superior connectivity, allowing simultaneous connections to multiple servers
directly or by way of storage area networks (SANs). Support for optical host
connections.
• Vast storage capacity with support for large numbers of drives.
• Storage management facilities for installation, configuration, expansion, and
monitoring.
•Redundant power supplies and hot-swappable components.
• Easily upgradeable to meet a variety of performance requirements.
• Integrated RAID controllers.
• Battery backup for cache data.
Note: JBOD is not supported. The InfiniteStorage 4000 uses a switched bunch of disks
(SBOD) technology. This functions in a manner similar to an FC-AL switch, allowing the
controller to establish point-to-point connections between a disk and the controller
(FC/FC). This provides higher bandwidth and higher overall performance.
