What’s New in DS 4000?

12Gb/s SAS

Dual host-boardsSuper capacitor

Dual expansion networks

12Gb/s SAS on both host-side and drive-side channels.

Up to 2 x host boards per controller.

One host board converged with 10 Gb/s FCoE, 8Gb/s FC, 16Gb/s FC , 10Gb/s iSCSI.(Mid-2015)

Unwritten cached data stays in the flash module upon mains power outage, no time limit.

Powered by super capacitor, no BBU replacement required.

Two separate JBOD expansion networks, support up to 436 HDDs in total.

Q&A

Q&A

• Why DS 4000 and DS 4000T If customers want a lower cost subsystem in the DS 4000 series, they can choose DS

4000. This is the same strategy that applied to DS 3000 and DS 3000T.• What will happen if 16Gb/s FC is connected to 8Gb/s switch or 4Gb/s

switch? What about 16Gb FC on 4 in 1 host board? Speed will drop to 8Gb/s or 4Gb/s automatically and this depends on switch speed.

• Does DS 4000 have SATA SSD muxboard for 12Gb/s SAS? We currently provide 3Gb/s muxboard for SATA SSD.

• Does 10Gb/s iSCSI host board support RJ45? If customers require this, they can contact HQ.

• Does Host board combination include 10Gb/s iSCSI host baord + 12Gb/s SAS host board? If customers require this, they can contact HQ.

• Will DS 4000 support InfiniBand? We are in the process of planning this.

42

Q&A

• What kind of serial cable is included? Because we are releasing an S model and R model, a Y cable comes by default.

• Can customers mix different types of JBOD? No, they cannot mix different types of JBOD

• How many JBOD can be connected for one JBOD daisy-chains? Please connect JBOD according to our rules. The first JBOD connects to left hand

side JBOD daisy-chains, the second JBOD connects to right hand side daisy-chains, third JBOD connects to left hand side daisy-chains, and so on.
