The FibreMaster™ 16000 JBOD 3U Rackmount is an ultra high-density 3U 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel to 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel JBOD subsystem designed for the growing storage industry where increasing capacity exceeds available rack space. This high density combined with the 2-Gigabit/second Fibre Channel architecture makes the FibreMaster 16000 JBOD an ideal solution for HDTV, video streaming, data warehousing, and many other applications that require large amounts of capacity and performance.

The FibreMaster 16000 JBOD is designed for 24x7 operation with fully redundant and hot-swappable data path logic, power supplies, cooling and enclosure management functions. Disk drive trays are lockable as well at hot-swappable, and have mechanical properties which ensure excellent thermal, EMI and rotational vibration characteristics to support 15k RPM drives and 2Gb operation. Sixteen 2Gb Fibre Channel drives in a 3U rackmount enclosure represents industry leading capacity in this form factor, with absolutely no compromise in cooling capability up to 40°C ambient conditions. Highly effective cooling ensures your drives will provide the best possible Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).

Two SES modules provide access to monitor/control all enclosure elements. These modules handle the status reports for all JBOD elements including hard drives, power supplies, cooling modules, and temperature. SES is implemented using the pass-through method. Up to four drives can be used as the alternate paths from the firmware to the SES devices. The redundant SES module eliminates single points of failure, making the FibreMaster 16000 JBOD an excellent choice for mission-critical applications.

The FibreMaster 16000 JBOD's scalable design makes expansion easy when storage needs increase. It is the ideal storage solution for applications requiring high data throughput, availability, and flexibility in configuration.
