IT managers are faced with the problem of supporting the rapid growth of data within their organization while working within the confines of limited budgets. They therefore require storage systems that enable them to optimize capacity ($/GB), performance and reliability as their needs evolve.

Innovative and Cost Effective

Xyratex’s RS-1603-E3-EBD delivers a highly-flexible solution designed to support the needs of every application through delivering an optimal blend of performance, scalability, reliability and cost. This new Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) based storage system replaces traditional parallel SCSI (U160, U320) systems. SAS provides an inherently more flexible infrastructure as it seamlessly supports the use of SATA or SAS disk drives. This capability enables the 1603 EBD system to support the high performance and reliability features of enterprise class SAS disk drives or the low cost, high capacity class of SATA disk drives.

The advanced SAS architecture of the RS-1603-E3-EBD eliminates the performance bottlenecks associated with a parallel SCSI interface, resulting in a significant improvement in performance, scalability and system availability. The sustained throughput and point to-point disk connections of the system’s design minimize latency, while dramatically improving system management and reliability.

Industry-Leading Enclosure

The RS-1603-E3-EBD is a key building block for implementing a Tiered Storage Architecture (TSA) as it supports the use of both high performance SAS and low cost, high capacity SATA drives in a single storage system. This capability enables you to tailor the performance profile of the storage system to meet both your application and budget requirements through using high performance SAS drives for low latency, I/O intensive online applications and SATA drives for non-mission critical, nearline archival applications.

Xyratex’s industry-leading enclosure provides enterprise-class reliability, and features hot swappable data path logic, power and cooling modules and enclosure management functions. This fully-redundant enclosure combines outstanding performance with cost effective scalability, and is fully capable of meeting the demands of 24/7 operations.
