Colfax CX4280q-JBOD

Features

Ultra Density & Fully Redundant 4U Disk Expansion Unit

As an ultra-dense, scalable, and cost-effective disk expansion unit, CX4280q-JBOD is tailored to carry sixty hot-swappable 3.5"/2.5", 12Gb/s SAS3 / 6Gb/s SATA3, HDDs/SSDs in a 4U enclosure and provides shared direct-attached-storage to as many as four servers simultaneously via four external mini-SAS HD ports. Major components including power supplies, fans, and SAS interface modules are redundant and hot-swappable with high availability. The design is optimized for the general-purpose needs of enterprise and hyper scale datacenters where the lowest operational cost-per-watt and smallest footprint are critical to achieving the growing data.

Cost-effectiveness

The CX4280q-JBOD is a cost-effective alternative for enterprises that want an ultra-dense storage solution support up to 600 TB total storage capacity. The unit can be shared with up to four servers via multi-lane Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host interfaces, allowing these customers to enjoy the efficiency of ultra-dense storage across multiple physical servers.

Reliability & High Availability

CX4280q-JBOD supports dual high-efficiency redundant power supplies and four hot-swappable fans, ensuring reliability and continuous availability in mission-critical datacenter environments. Hot-swappable redundant SAS interface modules provides dual data paths and ensure continuous operation. Ultra-high storage densities can present substantial mechanical engineering challenges from the sheer mass of rotating media. Interference from vibration caused by hard disk rotation is isolated in the JB4602 to assure reliability and high performance across a range of loading and access scenarios.

Serviceability & Manageability

With its innovative coverless, top load HDD design, CX4280q-JBOD significantly reduces service and maintenance complexity.
