Overview:
This GSa 5000 4U offers the highest performance all-flash technology designed for extreme I/O workloads and offers wide range of performance, connectivity, and scalability options.
Enterprise All Flash Array Storage
EonStor GSa all flash unified storage is designed for enterprise to speed-up workloads with wider range of product selections in terms of performance, connectivity, and form factor choices to fit any budget constraints. Coupling with Infortrend's powerful unified storage performance, high availability design, and future-proof EonCloud gateway features, EonStor GSa family can be your best choice to modernize your data center in all aspects.
EonStor GSa family inherited company's GS line of superior unified storage performance and available in 3 series. EonStor GSa 2000 and 3000 series are the cost-performance solutions. GSa 5000 series, on the other hand, offers the highest performance all flash technology designed for extreme I/O workloads.
It also offers high availability in all aspects. Its redundant controller hardware design supports SAS/SATA bridge board for compatibility with cost-effective SATA SSDs. Its firmware is embedded with Intelligent Drive Recovery (IDR) technology as well as the SSD lifespan monitoring features to ensure data availability. In addition, GSa provides optional EonCloud gateway that connects to cloud services such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Openstack Swift, and Alibaba Cloud for future-proof support of capacity expansion or remote-backup application to the cloud.
These AFAs are for high performance enterprise applications such as database, virtualization, VDI, Microsoft Exchange, media/entertainmentrelated applications.
Features & Benefits:
Powerful Unified Storage Performance and Reliability
GSa is a unified storage system that supports both block and file-level applications, and incorporates Infortrend’s unique block-device design and highly reliable RAID technology to deliver powerful performance and reliability.
Optimized SSD Performance with Low Latency
GSa family provides optimal SSD performance with low latency and extensive SSD lifespan, and can handle more than 700K IOPS for random reads with a response time of less than 0.5 milliseconds. It is ideal for demanding enterprise workloads such as database, virtualization, VDI, Microsoft Exchange, and media/ entertainment-related applications.
High Availability with Redundancy
GSa line of all-flash arrays are designed with no single point of failure technology (redundant controller hardware) for redundancy and include our enhanced firmware with Intelligent Drive Recovery (IDR) and SSD lifespan monitoring features to ensure data availability. It also supports SAS to SATA bridge board for compatibility with cost-effective SATA SSDs.
EonOne - an Easy-to-use Interface for Storage Management
EonOne offers easy-to-use and web-based management interface that can be operated remotely via web browser, reducing the storage management complexity. Its intuitive interface design allows centralized management of multiple systems, monitoring of performance and capacity usage, and completion of all system-related configurations.
Cloud Ready for Future-Proof Expansion
Anticipating the exponential growth of enterprise data, GSa offers optional cloud gateway that connects to cloud services such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Openstack Swift, and Alibaba Cloud for future-proof support of capacity expansion or remote-backup to the cloud.
Rich Selections of Host Interfaces
GSa offers versatile host interfaces: FC 16Gb/s, FC 8Gb/s, iSCSI 40Gb/s, iSCSI 10Gb/s, iSCSI 1Gb/s, InfiniBand 56Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s. Enterprises can choose according to their needs. Furthermore, 40GbE/10GbE/1GbE ports are also offered for fast and reliable data sharing and transfer in network environments.
Cache Backup Module (CBM) to Prevent Data Loss
When unexpected power failures occur, Infortrend CBM will kick-in and use the backup power to store cache data to flash module and prevent potential data loss. Once external power is back on, the data in the flash module will then be restored to drives. CBM can effectively reduce data loss.
Modular Design to Lower Maintenance Complexity
GSa family offers the modular design of the power supplies, fans, controllers, host boards, and other storage components to lower maintenance complexity. If any module fails, Enterprises can simply replace with a functional one. Coupled with quick technical support and RMA services, your storage system is well-protected from any down time, resulting in better productivity and reliability.
