We are using FAS980 from Network ApplianceTM Primary Storage Product
Data ONTAP GX systems meet your extreme storage demands for high-performance computing clients such as oil and gas exploration, electronic design automation, mechanical design and research labs. Data ONTAP GX is also ideal for digital media archiving, rendering, and Internet content serving.
Rely on the same core system software that maintain robust data availability through the system's Double Parity RAID and transparent node failover.
Key Features
- Eliminate storage "hot spots" by moving data transparently between all system nodes to optimize workloads.
- Achieve extreme throughput with the FlexVol® high performance option.
- Scale to meet your changing requirements of extremely large operating systems compute clusters.
- Balance data while the Data ONTAP GX system is running without interrupting applications.
- Obtain performance, simplicity and reliability from the Data ONTAP GX system, which allows you to scale to multiple petabytes under a single global namespace.
- Handle high performance computing and digital media content environments with our Data ONTAP GX system that provides multiple gigabytes of throughput and multiple petabytes of capacity.
- High capacity, high performance clients require storage and performance that scales to extreme levels while simplifying data management.
Email data storage is spread across a large number of mirrored pairs of servers. Each email storage server has a partner, which always contains a full copy of the primary server's data. This data is replicated between the two servers in real-time as emails arrive, using replication software called DRBD In the event that a primary storage server becomes unresponsive, software on the standby server immediately assumes the network identity of the primary server and begins handling all read and write operations. Engineers are notified of failures and the faulty server can be either repaired or replaced, and the storage software automatically handles the process of getting the data on the two servers back in sync.
