Infortrend®? Technology, Inc. announced their first 4U 90-bay storage design on EonStor GS G3 unified storage and JBOD series, offering 50% more capacity than a 4U 60-bay data storage. To address the challenge of adding storage capacity in limited space, Infortrend introduces their GS 4U 90-bay unified storage solution and JBOD 4U 90-bay that offer reduced total cost of ownership with high density, high storage capacity, and minimum space occupancy.

In a 4U 90-bay form factor, the disk drives can provide up to 1.8PB of data storage, and when coupled with a 4U 90-bay JBOD, the data storage capacity doubles to 3.6PB while taking up only 8U rack mount space. In all, the solution is capable of scaling up and out to more than 70PB. The GS G3 4U 90-bay solutions feature redundant dual controller configuration supporting 100GbE RDMA with up to 12GB/s write throughout per port.

To optimize performance and storage capacity, the system can leverage low latency U.2 NVMe SSDs as cache to improve its IOPS by storing frequently accessed data in the SSD, dramatically boosting the read and write performance. The GS G3 series offers a variety of high-density storage solutions to meet diverse needs for capacity. In addition to the latest 4U 90-bay storage, the series also provides 4U 40/60-bay solutions to complement various applications, such as high-performance computing (HPC), as well as 4K/8K post-production workloads.

Availability: EonStor GS 4U 90-bay models are now available; JBOD 4U 90-bay models are available in May 2023.
