Best-in-class storage density and Fibre Channel connectivity for nearline storage solutions.

In today’s data-rich environment, businesses are faced with the need to keep ever increasing amounts of data online and readily accessible. Recent US legislation such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), has resulted in unprecedented increases in data storage requirements. This necessitates the ability to differentiate data and move non-business-critical information to less costly nearline storage as an essential step in cost-effective tiered storage strategies.

Xyratex’s 4835 is the ideal solution for nearline archival storage, VTL and associated ILM applications. The 4835 sets the design standard for high-density storage enclosures. Housing 48 Serial ATA (SATA) drives in a mere 4U of rack space, this flexible solution can store up to 24TB of data, making it best-in-class for storage density.
