Product Description

Infortrend GS 2000B EonStor GS High Performance SSD Unified Storage, 2U 24-Bay - GS 2024RB/SB

EonStor GS SAS SSD storage series is a unified storage solution built for enterprises to handle large amounts of I/O and file transfers under high workloads. Supporting hybrid environments adopting SAN, NAS, and cloud integration, this series is perfect for those who require performance and capacity, while at the same time ideal for budget-conscious
applications as it can easily meet general storage needs.

High Performance
EonStor GS provides both high IOPS and high throughput to handle large amounts of I/O and file transfers, even under heavy workloads. The GS SAS SSD storage series, which features high-speed transmission interfaces and protocols, delivers up to 900K IOPS, 11GB/s read and 8GB/s write in throughput on a single appliance.

Flexible Scalability with Scale-out and Scale-up
Through scale-out expansion, you can linearly increase performance and capacity for both block-level and file-level data. When one GS unit is no longer able to provide enough performance or capacity, you can simply add more GS appliances to form a cluster—with a maximum of 4 GS units.

Through scale-up expansion, each GS unit can be connected to JBOD expansion enclosures to add up to 896 drives. Together with scale-out expansion, GS supports more than 3000 drives with over 70 PB storage capacity.

Easy Data Access and Simple IT Management
Users can access shared folders in a single root directory under a single namespace, without having to worry about where the data is stored. Auto-balancing is also supported to achieve load balancing, which relieves the burden of manual planning and configuration for IT personnel.

Storage Efficiency with Better TCO
EonStor GS supports hybrid storage, and with automated storage tiering, the storage system can automatically leverage the high performance I/Os of SSDs for frequently accessed data, and use NL-SAS/SATA HDDs on expansion enclosures for massive data archive, thereby boosting system performance at a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
In addition, EonStor GS comes with inline compression and offline deduplication, which reduces the overall storage capacity required and thus saves further costs.

Smart Management of SSD
EonStor GS uses an intelligent algorithm to handle data writes and optimize SSD usage. The algorithm not only extends SSD lifespan by reducing the total amount of writes on an SSD but also prevents multiple SSDs from failing at the time and causing data loss. Moreover, as EonStor GS storage monitors SSD status in real time, it estimates the remaining lifespan of each SSD and sends the administrator a reminder to replace the SSD that is about to fail.

Complete Data Protection and Backup
EonStor GS offers various data protection mechanisms to guarantee data safety. First, Infortrend's unique RAID technology ensures your data remains intact even in case of a drive failure. With snapshot, a flexible backup tool, you can back up local resources on a storage system by schedule, including volumes and shared folders, and roll back to a previous version when needed. For further protection, you can back up data to a remote GS appliance using the remote replication feature, or to a public cloud with EonCloud Gateway. Immutable object storage, another crucial feature for data protection, safeguards data against ransomware attacks. It retains data with WORM (write once read many) storage protection, where data gets “locked” and therefore cannot be modified, deleted, overwritten, or even encrypted
by ransomware. By setting a retention period, you can easily follow government compliance requirements or company policies on data retention. For companies requiring an easy-to-use and reliable storage solution for file backup, EonStor GS can be utilized as a backup appliance, allowing you to leverage its backup service to back up PC folders, file servers, and public cloud through a GUI interface. Additionally, you can set options such as a backup schedule and a retention period to best fit your needs.

New Level of High Availability
From power supplies, cooling fans, to controllers, the EonStor GS appliance is built in a modular, redundant, and hot-swappable hardware design, which reduces maintenance complexity and ensures uninterrupted services, whether during a regular system upgrade or even in an unplanned maintenance event due to a component failure. In addition, EonStor GS offers HA service to deliver continuous availability with a near-zero RTO (recovery time objective) and a zero RPO (recovery point objective). With two storage devices deployed at near sites, the HA service provides block-level active-active storage and file-level activepassive storage for business-critical applications that have an extremely low tolerance for downtime. Featuring synchronous remote replication and auto-failover, this solution ensures identical and complete copies of data are stored on both storage devices and avoids service downtime due to planned or unexpected events. Auto-failback is available in block-level HA service, allowing a storage device to resume services without switching manually.

Intuitive Management Software
EonStor GS adopts EonOne, a web-based management software tool, to assist customers in raising storage and service efficiency for increased productivity. With its intuitive interface design, IT administrators can easily manage a cluster and multiple appliances, monitor performance and capacity usage, and complete system configurations, all from one centralized interface.
