The Sun StorageTek 2540 FC Array (part number XTB2540R01A2N12000) is a high-performance hard drive array, designed to deliver an optimal combination of storage capacity, speed, and scalability. Built for enterprise-level applications, this array utilises Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity for high-speed data transfers and robust performance in mission-critical environments. The dual Fibre Channel ports offer redundant data paths, promoting fault tolerance and ensuring continuous availability in case of a single pathway failure.
This array supports a range of RAID levels (RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10), offering data protection flexibility based on individual organisational needs. Its ability to support RAID 6 is particularly significant for providing higher levels of protection, even in the event of multiple drive failures.
The Sun StorageTek 2540 FC Array can house up to 12 hot-swappable drive bays, allowing easy maintenance and upgrades without needing to power down the system. This feature ensures minimized downtime and easy scalability. It also provides support for a mix of hard disks and solid-state drives (SSDs), allowing for a hybrid configuration that delivers both high storage capacity and high performance within the same system.
In terms of management, the array is equipped with centralised storage management software to simplify control over storage configurations and operations. This software offers detailed monitoring and reporting tools to help users ensure smooth performance and rapidly address any issues. Additionally, it integrates with a variety of operating systems, enhancing compatibility across different platforms.
