2Gb SGI®TP9100 Features
- Leading-edge technology: TP9100 2Gb utilizes high-performance
2Gb Fibre Channel technology throughout, from host connection to back-end
drives
- Economical: TP9100 2Gb provides the low-cost option for users
who want to transition from 1Gb RAID platforms
- Economy of space: High-density enclosure houses 16 discrete
disk drives in only 5.25 vertical inches (three rack units) providing
the highest performance in the smallest space
- Integrated packaging: Easy field conversion from JBOD to
RAID is achieved by simply adding RAID controllers rather than adding
control enclosures
- Scalability: RAID configurations scale from 4 to 64 drives,
offering up to 4.6TBs of capacity; JBOD configurations scale from
4 to 96 drives, offering 7TBs of capacity
- Flexibility: JBOD configurations can be reconfigured in the
field to provide twice the host paths (4) and twice the bandwidth
(800MB-per-second peak) for video-on-demand and buffer pool storage
of computational-intense applications
- Investment protection: TP9100 2Gb is supported in a 1Gb SAN
environment, providing users with the features and benefits of the
latest technology while allowing a paced, measured transition from
1Gb infrastructure
- High performance: 400MB-per-second bandwidth (peak) for RAID
reduces the number of controllers and enclosures required for HDTV
applications
- High availability: Standard redundancy for power, cooling,
and device pathing and hot-swap components throughout ensure uninterrupted
access to data, a critical requirement for environments such as manufacturing,
in which lost development time means reduced competitiveness
- Outstanding price/performance: The architecture of TP9100
2Gb allows researchers to maximize bandwidth capability while minimizing
the impact upon grant dollars and budget
- Comprehensive management tools: The Total Performance Manager
provides parity checking and backup, mapping of data in a SAN, configuration,
and monitoring tools
