The EonStor GS 3024U storage can handle up to 896 drives with up to 15x mixed expansion enclosures or 3584 drives with scale-out with other Series of appliances per cluster. Dual redundant 530W 80 PLUS power supplies are mounted on the rear. Each controller has 2x optional host board slots for expansion, a mini-USB connector, and an Ethernet management port. For increased productivity, users can increase storage and service efficiency using EonOne, Infortrend’s web-based administration software package. The intuitive interface allows IT administrators to manage several appliances or a cluster, monitor capacity utilization and performance, and complete system configurations from a single, central interface.
A variety of operating systems are available, including MacOS X, VMware, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux. A number of Cloud Services are also supported. The GS 3024U also offers near-zero RTO (recovery time objective) and zero RPO (recovery point objective) HA (high-availability) services for continuous availability. This solution ensures that complete and identical copies of the data are stored and prevents service disruptions caused by unplanned or planned events. Auto-failback, a feature of block-level HA services, allows a storage device to resume operations without requiring a human switch.
