High Density Storage

When it comes to speed in throughput, ScaleStreams is not as fast as FlacheStreams. ScaleStreams is excel at storage capacity. It is designed with the purpose to maximize utilization of rack mount space. ScaleStreams uses every bit of space within the finite area within the data centers. Within a 4U space, it can scale from 48 bays to 72 bays. Putting 14TB (Terabyte) HDD into 72 bays will have 1 PB (Petabyte) in storage. ScaleStreams lower the cost of ownership by is having an improve performance design to handle heavy workload, reduce power consumption, and able to push the limit of storage each server can hold.

12Gb/S SAS3 Technology

ScaleStreams is designed with the latest generation of SAS technology and achieves 12Gb/s for each port. It also supports end-to-end 12Gb/s storage devices such as HDD/ SSD through 12G SAS expanders, 12G SAS HBAs, and RAID controllers. ScaleStreams can also support 36 physical 12G SAS expanders by providing dual ported SAS to enable redundancy for shared-storage devices. SAS interface is compatible with SATA SSD by sacrificing a small amount of time to translate the SATA SSD data. SAS can do everything SATA does, but not vice versa. Instead of SATA III that can achieve 6 Gbit/s, SAS is able to get 12 Gbit/s and has dual ports. The second port used for redundancy so that the drive is still available after the path for the controller fail. SAS also includes many more advanced SCSI commands like error recovery, error handling, reservations, signal distance, and block reclamation compare to SATA. Currently there is no plan to increase the speed of SATA higher than 6Gbit/s. Also, the price of SAS is about 5% to 10% higher than SATA SSD. With the double speed increment, redundancy features and more advanced SCSI commands, SAS not only helps the SATA drives but also improved it in almost every aspect.

Patented Tool-less and Tray-less

ScaleStreams provides a tool-less and tray-less design that allows ease of maintenance and serviceability on faulty drives. Accessing from the front, all the drives are hot-swappable with a simple click. Not only that, in the rear, the fans, expanders, and power modules are all hot-swappable. These eliminate down time and save cost of ownership.
