Infortrend EonStor GS 4048U Storage - System Overview
Additional Information
Each of the two controllers installed in the Infortrend EonStor GS 4048UR has a single 6-core Intel Xeon D CPU. By default, the controller has 48GB of DDR4 cache memory, which can be expanded to up to 384GB of memory. With dual redundant controllers, additional expansion and host connections are via optional host boards. Each controller can be outfitted with 2x controllers, each of which includes a dedicated Ethernet management port, a mini USB connector, and a USB 3.0 port for service only. The maximum SSD cache pool supported is up to 4TB for Block Level storage applications. Another one of the performance features on this system is GPUDirect, which bypasses the CPU and system memory to directly address the host system GPU for maximum efficiency and low latency.
