DNS-1400 - 4U SAS to SAS/SATA JBOD System

The Area DNS-1400 SAS JBOD is a high-density, high-reliability and cost-effective SAS host to SAS/SATA-II disk direct attached primary or near-line storage solution. With Area DNS-1400, you can customize the storage system for your needs. Configure it meet the high reliability, high-performance with SAS disk drive or low-cost high-capacity requirements with SATA-II disk drive or to create tiered storage solutions by mixing both SAS and SATA-II disk drives in the same system. The Area DNS-1400 SAS JBOD offers the high-performance and continuous availability demanded by today’s business applications and provides customers with choices in performance, capacity and reliability.

Density and Scalability
Each DNS-1400 SASS JBOD supports up to 24 disk drives in a 4U enclosure. It provides up to 18.0TB of SATA storage capacity for non-critical data or up to 7.2TB of high-performance 300GB 15K RPM 3.5” SAS disk drive for primary mission-critical data storage. The DNS-1400 SAS JBOD can be scaled to a total of 96 spindles (or four enclosures) for a total capacity of 72.0TB with SATA-II disk drive or 28.8TB with high-performance SAS disk drive.

Redundancy & Reliability
Hot-Swappable disk drives and redundant, hot-swappable power and cooling modules that ensure the highest level of system availability and maximum possible uptime is achieved through dual active-active Serial Attached SCSI I/O Module controllers that provide failover/failback operation.
  • 4U 24 hot-swappable drive bays with key-lock front bezel
  • Dual active-to-active, fail-over SAS JBOD I/O Modules
  • Two 3Gb/s SAS Ports on each SAS I/O Module, one-in & one-out
  • 24 x dual ported (w/interposer) for SAS or SATA II hard disks
  • 764W Redundant hot-swappable power & cooling modules
  • GUI based SES Management Tool to monitor the system
  • Online Firmware Upgrade ensures system’s high availability
  • By daisy-chaining JBODs, supports up to 96 hard disk drives
