A Storage System that Accelerates Applications Consolidate and centralize backup jobs Economically implement an online archive

S2A9550 storage technology is purpose-built for optimum high-speed large-file data serving and is designed to make the deployment of large pools of cost effective data simple to manage.

Across a variety of agencies and storage applications, S2A technology is being used to store and protect information by government agencies that deliver results for their programs faster, thanks to the many unique S2A storage capabilities:

Performance-Optimized Storage

•  S2A technology makes it possible to scale single system S29550 performance up to 3GB/s in a single system during both read and write operations.  Unlike other storage systems which are designed for small, random file transactions – S2A technology is highly optimized to rapidly read and write large files and file formats.  This result of this innovation is that systems managers can deliver more performance on a GB/s per TB basis and deploy less systems to meet program performance objectives.
•  Leveraging high-speed parallel FPGA parity processing technology and massive internal system and disk bandwidth – S2A technology ensures high levels of both performance and quality of service.  Unlike traditional storage systems that experience performance degradation or data unavailability during a drive/channel/enclosure outage – the S2A storage system is able to intelligently handle spurious system HW issues and provide real-time access to data even while making system corrections or operating in a degraded mode.  High levels of quality of service ensure mission critical programs are not compromised by HW or media failures and is ideal for data ingest applications.

Capacity-Optimized Storage

• S2A technology is designed to hold up to 1000 disk drives in a single unit.  With 1 TB drives, the S2A9550 storage system is capable of holding nearly 1PB of storage within a single system.  This massive scalability is ideal for applications such as backup/restore, online archive and online ingest systems.
• Massive scalability is intelligently managed by robust S2A data protection.  Full-performance RAID 6 with partial drive rebuild capability ensures full double disk failure protection and rapid return to full system health.  Real-time SATAssure read and write parity calculation capability safeguards the health of your cost-effective SATA-based data without degrading the performance of your storage system and protects against silent SATA data corruption.  Innovative S2A data protections ensure the integrity of your data and enable cost-effective SATA storage for your online, nearline and backup requirements.
