Infortrend EonStor GS 4090 Gen3 Storage

The Infortrend EonStor GS 4090 Gen3 Storage has 4x configuration options, a standard version with SAS/SATA HDDs and a performance option with U.2 NVMe SSDs. Both offer single or dual redundant controllers depending on your choice. These controllers support 6-core Intel Xeon D processors, with single controllers delivering 16GB up to 192GB DDR4 of cache memory, and 32GB up to 384GB DDR4 of cache memory with dual controllers. Under the 4U hood, it houses 90x 3.5” drive bays for SAS and SATA HDDs, meanwhile the 2x performance configurations, the EonStor GS 4090R3C and GS 4090S3C, support U.2 NVMe SSDs.

It’s important to note that the performance models support U.2 SSDs with an additional 4x drive bays grouped together near the back of the system, for a total of 94x drive trays. The cloud-integrated unified EonStor GS 4090 Gen3 storage supports NAS, SAN, object protocol, and cloud gateway. This storage can take on complex data by scaling up with JBOD expansion system for up to 896 drives. If they are scaled out with other series appliances, per cluster, a maximum of 3584 drives can be accommodated. A single controller features 2x host board slots for optional I/O, plus 2x 12Gb/s SAS ports, 1x Ethernet management port, a single mini-USB connector, and 1x super capacitor with flash module in case of a power outage. If an element fails, emails or the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can be used to send notifications. 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.

Infortrend’s EonOne software suite can manage the system, and operating systems like Windows Server, OpenStack Cinder, Citrix XenServer, and macOS X are also supported. The system is powered by two redundant 1600W 80 PLUS Titanium power supply units.
