System Storage EXP5060 Expansion Unit
Highlights
- Supports up to 60 SATA drives in just 4U of rack spacereducing footprint up to 65 percent
- Intelligent design and high-efficiency power supplies reduces power/cooling by 10 percent
- Online serviceability of individual drives supports uninterrupted data availability
- Individual extension of 12-drive drawers eliminates excessive front-heavy weight on the rack
- Ability to intermix EXP5060 and EXP5000 expansion units ensures data is stored on the technology that best meets performance, protection and cost requirements
As the amount of data your organization generates and stores continues to grow exponentially, you may be challenged to fit the drives needed to store this data into limited floor space, not to mention power and cool all the systems. The EXP5060 expansion unit offers tremendous storage density and significant operational savings for data-intensive applications and other environments that store vast amounts of data.
The 60-drive EXP5060 expansion unit provides up to three times greater density compared to traditional drive enclosures, enabling a 960 TB DS5000 series system to reside within a standard 19-inch rack. The increased density combined with highly-efficient power supplies and cooling fans enables the EXP5060 to reduce power consumption by more than 10 percent and floor space by more than 65 percent compared to previous generation enclosures.
