The StorageGRID SG6000 appliances are integrated storage and computing platforms that operate as Storage Nodes in a StorageGRID system. These appliances can be used in a hybrid grid environment that combines appliance Storage Nodes and virtual (software-based) Storage Nodes.
The
SG6000 appliances provide the following features:
Available in two models:
- SG6060, which includes 60 drives and supports expansion shelves.
- SGF6024, which offers 24 solid state drives (SSDs).
- Integrate the storage and computing elements for a StorageGRID Storage Node.
- Include the StorageGRID Appliance Installer to simplify Storage Node deployment and configuration.
- Include SANtricity System Manager for managing and monitoring the storage controllers and drives.
- Include a baseboard management controller (BMC) for monitoring and diagnosing the hardware in the compute controller.
- Support up to four 10-GbE or 25-GbE connections to the StorageGRID Grid Network and Client Network.
- Support Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) drives. When these drives are used with the Drive Security feature in SANtricity System Manager, unauthorized access to data is prevented.
