480.0TB - 5.8PB RAID combines SAS
12.0Gb/s storage technologies with 3.4GB/sec.16/32/64GB Fibre Channel host interface to data protection RAID 6 in a
4U rack-optimized enclosure.
The innovative GVS-designed Nomadic 4U RAID architecture combines affordable, high-capacity SAS drive technology with a dual to quad 2x16/32/64Gb/s fibre channel host interface per hardware RAID controller, reliable data access. Each GVS Drive Module uses
a dedicated 12.0Gb/s SAS drive channel, maximizing
the 16/32/64GB/s Per Fibre Channel host connection.
