DATACENTER
The requirements of a datacenter can be an intersection of many implementations, but one characteristic rises above the rest: scalability in a compact form factor. Some applications include massive near-line archiving, data aggregation, large-scale databases for information storage and cross-referencing, or mixed-disk consolidated server storage. Whether you own a full rack or just lease a few feet of rackspace, DNF has solutions which offer high initial capacity and easy expansion. For such implementations, browse through our product menu for the Storage Area Network-based FibreMaster models, or the M-series line of Network Attached Storage, or look below for a few suggested products. Please contact us directly for a custom configuration, or if you would like any additional information!
Available in capacities of over 50TB, this modular configuration is ideal for high-volume storage needs, or situations where mixed drive types are required. Each M4 NAS appliance node can be connected to a variety of storage subsystems, including SCSI, fibre, and Serial ATA, or equipped with high-speed on-board storage for data indexing.
The FibreXpac 16000 RAID is the ultimate scalable solution, supporting configurations up to 204TB, or a total of 840 disks. For high availability needs the product can be configured with dual controllers, and up to 7 independent Fibre Channel 2Gb host ports.
Input an estimate of the amount of storage you will need. Your available storage capacity will decrease depending on the RAID level you choose. Do not include hot spares in your raw storage calculation.
Input the amount of data you currently have in use. This will be used to generate an estimate on the number of disks you will need for this amount of available storage, after accounting for the RAID level.
