The StorageGRID SG1000 services appliance can operate as a Gateway Node or an Admin Node to provide high availability load balancing services in a StorageGRID system.
This figure shows the front of the SG1000 with the bezel removed. The two solid-state drives (SSDs), indicated by the orange outline, are used for storing the StorageGRID operating system and are mirrored using RAID1 for redundancy. The remaining drive slots are blank. When the SG1000 is configured as an Admin Node, the drives are used to store audit logs, metrics, and database tables.
This figure shows the connectors on the back of the SG1000.
