The DDN Lustre SFA10000 Couplet InfiniBand, part number BQ906A, is a high-performance storage solution tailored for demanding enterprise environments. This hard drive array is specifically designed for those requiring optimised performance in data-heavy operations. Its robust architecture utilises InfiniBand, a high-speed interface known for its low latency and superior data transfer rates. This feature makes it suitable for applications such as high-performance computing (HPC) and large-scale data analytics.
Engineered for scalability and reliability, the DDN SFA10000 supports couplet-based configurations, which offer enhanced resilience and redundancy. This ensures that critical data remains available and secure even in the event of component failure. The system's Lustre file system integration adds another layer of functionality by enabling distributed file access across multiple nodes, making it possible to manage and analyse large datasets efficiently.
The device uses DDN’s proprietary Storage Fusion Architecture (SFA), which allows the aggregation of data flows to optimise throughput. The architecture also incorporates features for advanced power management, helping to reduce operational costs. With high-density storage capabilities, the SFA10000 can host a significant number of drives in a rack-consolidated footprint, helping users maximise their data storage while conserving physical space in the data centre.
Another critical feature of the DDN Lustre SFA10000 is its high availability, thanks to the inclusion in the couplet design of dual controller configurations, each working independently to maintain uptime. Additionally, the system's InfiniBand ports further enhance connectivity options, supporting high-speed communication between interconnected devices in a storage network.
