12 bays 2U Rackmount
SAS to SAS/SATA-II JBOD Subsystem
The Alnico 8121J is a 2U JBOD subsystems, supports up to 12 3,5" SAS or SATA-II drivers. The single miniSAS ( 4 x 3Gb/sec) ports provides connectivity and bandwidth to RAID subsystem or Sever, 2 x down stream mniSAS port for large capacity solutions requiring multiple cascaded more JBOD units.
Alnico 8121J is a full modular design, provides redundancy and hot swappable cooling fans, Power supplies can tolerate a main failure without interrupting service. All heath status can be reproting and monitoring through in-band SES. Firmware can be upgraded through in-band SAS or serial port.
Highlights
