Full Specifications
| Processor | Single Socket Intel 3408U (1.8GHz, 8C) |
| Functional | PowerScale Archive NAS; Scale-out architecture: Distributed fully symmetric clustered architecture that combines modular storage with OneFS operating system in a single volume, single namespace, and single filesystem; Modular design: Four self-contained PowerScale nodes include server, software, HDDs and SSDs in a 4U rackmountable chassis. All nodes can be integrated into existing PowerScale and Isilon clusters with backend Ethernet or InfiniBand connectivity |
| Memory | 96GB |
| System Overview | Scale-out architecture; Distributed fully symmetric clustered architecture that combines modular storage with OneFS operating system in a single volume, single namespace, and single filesystem.; Cluster Attributes; Number of chassis: 1 to 63; Number of nodes: 4 to 252; Cluster Capacity: 960 TB to 100 PB; Rack Units: 4 to 252; Raw capacity; 80 HDD drives (3.5 in.) per chassis.; Chassis Capacity:; 960 TB; 1.28 PB; 1.6 PB; 1.9 PB; Cache (per node) solid state drives:; (800GB, 3.2TB, 7.68TB); Capacity and number of SDDs (1 or 2) determined by HDD size and count |
| Connectivity | Front End Networking (per node):; 2 x 100 GbE (QSFP28) or 2 x 25GbE (SFP28); Infrastructure Networking (per node):; 2 InfiniBand connections with QDR links or 2 X 100 GbE (QSFP28) or 2 X 25GbE (SFP28) |
| Media Types | HDD:; 12 TB; 16 TB; 20 TB; 24 TB |
| Software | OneFS 9.11.0.0 or later. Upgrades are non-disruptive; PowerScale OneFS distributed file system creates a cluster with a single file system and single global namespace. It is fully journaled, fully distributed, and has a globally coherent write/read cache. |
| Data Optimization | Efficiency; SmartDedupe data deduplication option, which can reduce storage requirements by up to 35 percent.; 2:1 DRR guarantee; Network protocol support; NFSv3, NFSv4, NFSoRDMA, NFS Kerberized sessions (UDP or TCP), SMB1 (CIFS), SMB2, SMB3, SMB3-CA, Multichannel, HTTP, FTP, NDMP, SNMP, LDAP, HDFS, S3, ADS, NIS reads/writes.; Data replication; SyncIQ fast and flexible one-to-many file-based asynchronous replication between clusters. SmartSync provides efficient file to file and file to object data movement.; Automated storage tiering; Policy-based automated tiering options including SmartPools and CloudPools software to optimize storage resources and lower costs.; Data retention; SmartLock policy-based retention and protection against accidental deletion. |
| Data Protection | FlexProtect file-level striping with support for N+1 through N+4 and mirroring data protection schemes.; File system audit capability and STIG hardening to improve security and control of your storage infrastructure and address regulatory compliance requirements, with our Cyber Protection Suite. |
| Security | Data at Rest Encryption with External Key Manager; Data in flight encryption; Role-Based Access Control (RBAC); Multi-factor authentication; Secure Boot; Auditing; Anti-Virus |
