NDS4603
High Density, 60 LFF drives, High Availability JBOD
The Viking Enterprise Solutions (VES) NDS4603 is an SBB-like, high density JBOD with 60 3.5″ hard disk (HDDs) with 12Gb/s SAS with two active 12 Gb/s I/O Modules.
Today’s business environment requires simple, easy ways to grow capacity as well as providing performance and scalability on demand. The Viking Enterprise Solutions (VES) NDS4603 High Density Storage Enclosure enables 3.5” or 2.5” SAS/SATA hard disk drive (HDD) and solid state disk (SSD) device connections in a mixed environment. Target device communication and management is enabled via standard serial attached SCSI (SAS 3.0) protocol with enclosure services linked via SES firmware.
The VES NDS4603 Storage Enclosure offers best-in-class performance and capacity, space-saving density, “green” energy efficiency and 24×7 high-availability redundancy of key components.
The NDS4603 fits into an industry standard 19” rack / 1 meter rack. Its flexible configuration allows it to be deployed in a variety of applications.
