Overview:

Stay ahead of the capacity curve by using VTrak Jx30s 6G SAS expansion chassis family to easily grow capacity. Using 6G SAS architecture, a VTrak Jx30s expansion chassis paves the way to support the flood of unstructured data now flowing across infrastructures today. VTrak Jx30s is available in 3U, 4U and ultra-dense 4U solutions.

VTrak J-Class is used in some of the world's largest enterprise computing and backup environments. It also truly shines in video creation environments by delivering consistent low latency performance without frame dropping. When used in film and video postproduction, users can scale performance and capacity to support large scale, uncompressed HD workflows.

6G SAS serformance

The VTrak Jx30 series allows storage applications to access their data at blistering speeds using multi-lane 6G SAS architectures. The 6G SAS connectivity paves the way for large multi-lane bandwidth to support the flood of unstructured data now flowing across networks today. Fully backward compatible with 3G SAS/SATA devices, users have the ability to deploy 3G and 6G SAS/SATA hard drives and solid-state devices (SSD) in the Jx30 series.

High-efficiency design

VTrak products utilize environmentally-friendly production methods and materials as well as a high-efficiency design that saves energy. Efficient power supplies provide up to 90% power efficiency that enables the VTrak Jx30 series to improve total cost of ownership by conserving power, reducing heat output and improving cooling costs. The internal 6G SAS expander-based architecture also allows for transparent access to each drive, enabling full utilization of the power management features built into modern hard drives.

Outstanding service and support

Every VTrak J-Class is backed by the Promise three year limited warranty, with 24/7 (Americas & EMEA) telephone and email support. In addition to our industry leading warranty, Promise offers extended warranty and on-site parts replacement options (with service levels) and response times as low as 4 hours.

Deployment:

Virtualization

Cloud computing infrastructure requires flexibility and storage management efficiency. Virtualization enables dynamic storage allocations such that physical layers of storage can be utilized most effectively. As virtual machines continue to increase with more virtualized deployments, fibre channel performance optimized where critical complimented with simpler and cost effective 10GbE iSCSI infrastructures will accelerate meeting the bandwidth and storage requirements for the cloud and datacenter.
