The Sun StorageTek 2501 SAS Expansion Array (part number: TA2501-CHASSIS-Z) is a robust storage enclosure that offers high-density expansion capabilities for enterprise environments. This unit is designed to integrate seamlessly with other Sun StorageTek systems, allowing for the provision of significant additional storage space while maintaining optimal performance. The enclosure supports both Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) technologies, ensuring fast data transfer rates and reliable connectivity.
Physically, the expansion array is housed within a compact chassis designed to maximise use of data centre rack space. It includes multiple bays that can accommodate hot-swappable SAS drives, making it possible to add or replace drives without disrupting ongoing operations. This hot-swapping capability is essential for enterprises requiring a high degree of uptime and data availability.
The array features high levels of redundancy, ensuring that no single point of failure will affect system operations. Components such as the power supplies and cooling fans are designed to be redundant, allowing for continuous operation even in case of component failure. Its efficient cooling design helps to maintain optimal operating temperatures over long periods.
In terms of management, the Sun StorageTek 2501 SAS Expansion Array integrates with Sun’s broader portfolio of storage management software. This enables easy configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of storage units within the networked environment. The enclosure’s compatibility with standard SAS connections ensures that it can be utilised with a wide range of storage environments, providing enterprises with a scalable storage solution capable of growing with their needs.
