       A2454E / A2404E                                           |    Specifications    |     Accessories    |    Datasheet     
           
   

The Momentum A2404E RAID subsystem is powered by dual-active or a single RAID controller. Each RAID controller comes with four (4) SAS multi-lane host ports that are defined as IN ports and OUT ports. The OUT ports can be used to connect the IN ports of other A24S systems in order to expand capacity and to multiply RAID computing power. By cascading A24 enclosures on the host links, the throughput from multiple systems can be joined and the 12Gbps bandwidth per port can be leveraged.

 
           
  Highlights        
 

Full-featured RAID for Massive Capacity:

 
 

The A24 RAID enclosure is designed with all the sophisticated high availability features including redundant RAID controllers, a common backplane, dedicated cross-controller ‘sync. cache’ channels, redundant cooling and power supply modules. Highest performance and spindle density is achieved within the compact design which provides dozens of terabytes in a 4U chassis.

The A24 takes advantages of SAS interface technology in terms of its ease of cabling and many folds of bandwidth compared with its SCSI predecessors. The system accommodates high capacity and low-cost SATA-II 3Gbps disk drives. With the additional cascade ports, RAID or expansion enclosures can be easily attached to include a total of an astonishing 264TB capacity (using 1TB SATA drives). As a capacity champion, the A24S does not compromise on its data protection functionality. The A24 supports RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, multi-level logical volumes, and all the renowned firmware functionality as other EonStor series models.
 
     
 

Software Features:

 
 

EonPath: The EonPath drivers coordinates with Microsoft MPIO, runs on Solaris and Linux platforms, and provides fault tolerance for multiple data paths and load-balancing algorithms. The EonPath also enables TPGS (Target Port Group Service) for optimizing I/Os through the optimal paths.

Snapshot: Snapshot enables point-in-time backup with high fidelity and minimal impact to ongoing applications. More significant is that the snapshot operation is processed by RAID hardware without load on host CPUs. Snapshot also features dedicated snapshot volumes, automated snapshot scheduler, and comprehensive disk space control.

SANWatch: SANWatch provides all functions necessary to discover, configure, administer, and monitor Infortrend’s RAID arrays; be they remote or many. The SANWatch also provides management interfaces for EonPath and Snapshot functions, so that all data protection and high availability features can be accessed through one interface.

 
     
 

Scalability: Expansion over SAS Wide Links:

 
 

Similar to Fibre Channel expansion loops, SAS expander technologies also enable the ease of connections when the need arises for more capacity. All you have to do is to attach the cables and use a flatblade screwdriver to select an enclosure ID by a rotary switch. The SAS WWN addresses will be automatically applied to all disk drives.

  1. A single-controller RAID can attach to 4 expansion enclosures (64 HDD) via SAS wide links.
  2. A redundant-controller RAID can attach to 2 expansion enclosures. Although the maximum no. of disk drives is reduced to 56, yet fault-tolerant links can be strung between RAID and JBOD enclosures.

Host Links:

 
  Each A24 RAID controller comes with 4 multi-lane 12Gbps host ports. Host interfaces are defined as the IN and OUT ports. The OUT ports can either be used as host connection points or for cascading to other RAID enclosures.  
     
 

Expansion with Drive Enclosures:

 
  The A24 RAID series also supports the 3U-profile R1674 expansion enclosures as shown in the matching table below.  
 
Model 3U JBOD (SATA HDD) Configuration
A2454E
R1684
Dual-controller; fault-tolerant paths
A2404E
R1674
Single-controller; single path
NOTE: JBOD connection requires the SFF-8088-to-SFF-8470 cables.
 
  Cabling options can be found in the accessory list. You may also find cabling details in user’s documentation.  
     
 

Integration with the Host Side

 
  Every Momentum model has undergone a series of environmental and compatibility tests to verify its design and minimize your integration efforts. You may contact our sales representatives for the reports on these tests. The Momentum series has a rich variety of firmware functions that adapt it to various applications. You can contact our technical support with your application features so they can help tune the adaptive firmware options.    
     
Specifications        
 

Maximum Capacity with Cascaded Enclosure:

 
 

If using 1TB SATA drives in this configuration, a maximum of 264TB capacity can be included for a direct-attached configuration. SAS cables are strung along the cascade ports of the 3 RAID enclosures, and expansion enclosures are attached to each RAID system.
