Xyratex to Demonstrate New OneStor(TM) Extensible Storage Platform at Storage Networking World

WHO: Xyratex, a leading provider of enterprise class data storage subsystems and storage process technology. WHAT: Xyratex will demonstrate its new OneStor SP1424s Extensible Storage Platform (ESP), the first in a family of modular products. The OneStor ESP storage family is an SBB 2.0-compatible solution with architecture features designed to meet diverse application needs. This unique family combines storage density, intelligent platform management for power efficiency, instrumentation, and the industry’s most versatile storage system design. The first product in the family, OneStor SP1424s, supports up to 24TB of tiered SAS and SATA disk drive storage in a 4U rack-mount enclosure with an expansion capability of up to 96TB. The performance and scalability of OneStor SP1424s makes it ideal for a wide variety of storage and application environments, including digital media, compliance retention and data archival. The OneStor SP1424s also features an OEM Developers Kit (ODK) that can be utilized to design customized "personality modules”. OEMs and system integrators can easily tailor new versions of these high performance storage solutions as their requirements and technologies evolve. Reusing these customized personality modules in future systems saves development time and cost. Additionally, the OneStor family reduces on-going operational costs by incorporating new "green” design elements including: scalable power supply profiles based on disk selection; individual drive power control; advanced adaptive cooling technology and 85+ percent efficient power conversion.
