Data storage systems

SILA CX2-1036

Description

The unified data storage array is designed for medium and large enterprises. Covers the widest range of SAN and NAS workloads.

Special features:

  • support for file and block access, VMware VVols;
  • capacity support from 1.2TB to 9.7PB (raw);
  • built-in algorithms for optimizing the use of file space for flash memory;
  • snapshots;
  • local and remote data replication;
  • built-in encryption;
  • deep integration with VMware, Microsoft and OpenStack ecosystems;
  • support for 3D NAND TLC flash memory for maximum density.

Uninterrupted running of the DSS is ensured due to automated remote support and proactive help system based on cloud-based monitoring and predictive analytics.

Characteristics

Min/Max number of drives

5/1000

Array enclosure

Available in 2 configurations: 2U form factor DPE 25x 2.5" drives and 2U form factor DPE 12x 3.5" drives

Disk enclosure

All models support 2U form factor DAE 25x 2.5" drives, 3U form factor DAE 15x 3.5" drives, and 3U form factor DAE 80x 2.5" drives

Redundant power system

For SILA CX2-1036 system, 2 power supplies are used per DPE or DAE. In case of failure or unavailability of one of them, the power supply of the entire module can be carried out from the second power source. The DPE is powered by a battery backup module during a power failure. The battery backup is located inside the DSS chassis and provides power to one module (power zone).
