  Overview   Product Highlights   Technical Specs  

The Write Accelerator Solution includes two individual Solid State Disk units.
These are the specs of one of the two units:

I/Os Per Second
200,000
 
Capacity
16-32 GB
 
Bandwidth
1.5 GB per second
 
Latency
Less than 15 microseconds
 
Fibre Channel Connection
  • 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel (2-Gigabit capable)
  • 2 ports standard; up to 4 ports available
  • Supports point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and switched fabric topologies
  • Interoperable with Fibre Channel Host Bus Adaptors, switches, and operating systems
 
InfiniBand Connection
  • 4x InfiniBand (10-Gigabit)
  • 1 port standard; up to 2 ports available
  • Supports SRP upper level protocol
  • Interoperable with InfiniBand Host Channel Adaptors, switches, and operating systems
 
Management
  • Browser-enabled system monitoring, management, and configuration
  • Telnet management capability
  • Front panel displays system status and provides basic management functionality
 
LUN Support
  • 1 to 1024 LUNs with variable capacity per LUN
  • Flexible assignment of LUNs to ports
  • Hardware LUN masking
 
Data Retention
  • Non-volatile solid state disk
  • Redundant internal batteries power the system for 25 minutes after power loss
  • Automatically backs up data to disk at 60 MB/sec
 
Reliability and Availability
  • Chipkill technology protects data against memory errors up to and including loss of an entire memory chip
  • Internal redundancies
    • Power supplies and fans
    • Backup battery power
    • Backup hard disk drives (mirrored)
  • Hot-swappable components
    • Two backup hard drives (front access)
    • Power supplies
  • Soft Error Scrubbing
    • When a single bit error occurs on a read, the RamSan will automatically re-write the data to memory thus scrubbing soft errors. Following the re-write the system re-reads to verify the data is correcte
 
Backup Procedures
Supports two backup modes that are configurable per system or per LUN:
  • Data Sync mode - synchronizes data to redundant internal disk drives before shutdown or with power loss
  • Active BackupTM mode (optional) - backs up data constantly to internal redundant disks without impacting system performance.
 
Size
5.25" (3U) X 16"
 
Power Consumption (peak)
250 Watts
 
Weight (maximum)
70 lbs
