Intel® 2U 12-Bay Storage Server SSR212MC2
|
 The Intel® Storage Server SSR212MC2 is a flexible hardware platform that can be coupled with one of a number of different industry software solutions to create an application server with internal storage (DAS) or used as a dedicated network storage appliance (NAS or SAN). Built to support Intel® dual-core and quad-core CPU technologies, the SSR212MC2 offers performance and flexibility. The SSR212MC2 is a 2U rackmount storage server that supports 12 enterprise-class Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or high-capacity Serial ATA (SATA) HDDs. This PCI Express*-based platform supports up to 32 GB of fully buffered DIMMs and up to two high-performance dual-core or quad-core Intel® Xeon® processors. Flexible network connectivity will include quad port Gb Ethernet, 10 Gb Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or Infiniband via add-in cards.
An Increasing Need for Storage
Businesses today are being inundated with digital data, from the growth in existing applications like e-mail and databases to emerging rich-media applications such as digital video. New government regulatory requirements, corporate business continuity, and corporate disaster recovery plans are adding to the explosive growth of storage needs. All of these factors contribute to an ever-increasing need for storage in small and medium business as well as larger enterprises. The Intel Storage Server SSR212MC2 addresses this growing storage demand by supporting up to 12 enterprise-class SAS or high-capacity SATA hard drives. It features hardware support for RAID levels 0, 1, 5,10, and 50, making data more reliable and faster to access.
Lower Storage Costs with Enterprise-Class Reliability
The Intel Storage Server SSR212MC2 features support for high-capacity, 7,200 RPM SATA hard disk drives (HDD), which are less expensive than Fibre Channel or SCSI drives and simplify cabling. Additionally, SATA drives offer software transparency and scalability to help lower upgrade costs. The SSR212MC2 also supports SAS HDDs, which offer enterprise-class reliability. With spindle speeds of 10,000 RPM and 15,000 RPM, and an architecture that enables a point-to-point connection and full-duplex, or bi-directional, data transfers, SAS HDDs offer performance and reliability similar to SCSI or Fibre Channel HDDs.
Flexible Software Solutions
Intel has engaged with storage software providers to ensure the availability of a variety of software solutions. These include applications that allow the Intel Storage Server SSR212MC2 to be configured as a SAN or a NAS system. To see the growing list of industry software solutions optimized for the Intel Storage Server SSR212MC2, visit www.intel.com/design/servers/ storage/ssr212mc2/index.htm.
Flexible Connectivity Options
Intel is enabling a robust set of hardware options to provide high bandwidth storage and server connectivity. Dual- and quad-port Intel® PRO server adapters provide an option for increased bandwidth through bonding of ports, or reliability via failover. Additional options will include, 10 Gb Ethernet, 4 Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity, and 20 Gbps Infiniband connectivity.
Environments ranging from high-performance computing to the growing compute, networking, and storage needs of small and medium businesses can all benefit from the flexible network connectivity options available, via add-in cards, with the SSR212MC2. To learn more, visit the SSR212MC2 Website.

Windows 8 Server Gets New File System: ReFS
|
|
Along with Storage Spaces coming in Windows 8, ReFS forms the foundation of storage on Windows for the next decade or more. Key features of the two when used together include: metadata integrity with checksums; integrity streams providing optional user data integrity; allocate on write transactional model for robust disk updates; large volume, file and directory sizes; storage pooling and virtualization making file system creation and management easy; data striping for performance and redundancy for fault tolerance; disk scrubbing for protection against latent disk errors; resiliency to corruptions with "salvage" for maximum volume availability in all cases; and shared storage pools across machines for additional failure tolerance and load balancing.
