Infortrend EonStor GS 4060 Gen3 Storage - System Overview
Additional Information
The Infortrend GS 4060 Storage device houses 60x 3.5-inch drive bays which are compatible with both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SATA HDDs and SSDs. Some configurations are also compatible with U.2 NVMe SSDs as well. Up to 896x drives are supported via expansion enclosures and up to 3584x drives are available per cluster via scale-out with up to 4 GS units. A super capacitor with flash backup provides for cache backup in the event of a power failure, with cache memory provided by the controller. On the rear of each controller, there are dual SAS expansion ports along with a dedicated management port and 2x host board slots for optional NICs. The optional host boards support SFP+, RJ-45 ports, Fiber Channel (FC), and SAS options granting varying speeds and port options based on your business needs. Four different platforms are available.

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. Designed for demanding SAN and NAS environments, the Infortrend GS 4060 Gen3 offers high-performance reads of up to 16GB/s and writes of 12GB/s. Upgrading the single controller platforms to a dual redundant controller configuration is easily accomplished with the additional of a second controller module. SAS, SATA, and U.2 NVMe drives are supported. Daisy-chaining this appliance with other JBOD enclosures dramatically increases capacity to up to 896x drive bays. To keep your data secure, this platform is compatible with a full range of RAID options. System management is achieved by Infortrend’s web-based management software EonOne, which can help manage, assign resources, and automate common administrative tasks. Hot-swap dual, redundant 1200W 80 Plus Platinum power supplies power this system and require 200-240VAC.
