Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the DS 4000 Gen2 ideal for high IOPS workloads?
The dual redundant controller subsystem with dual 12Gb/s SAS connectivity enables the DS 4000 Gen2 to deliver sustained high IOPS performance. The active-active controller architecture distributes I/O operations efficiently, making it perfect for database servers, virtual machine environments, and transaction-intensive applications requiring predictable performance.
How does the dual controller design improve reliability?
The dual redundant controller subsystem eliminates single points of failure by providing active-active failover capability. If one controller experiences issues, the second seamlessly takes over without service interruption, ensuring your mission-critical data remains accessible at all times.
Is the EonStor DS 4000 Gen2 suitable for virtualization environments?
Yes, the DS 4000 Gen2 is specifically optimized for virtualization platforms. Its high IOPS performance and dual 12Gb/s SAS connectivity handle the demanding I/O patterns of virtual machines, while the 24-bay capacity provides ample storage for multiple VM datastores in a compact 2U footprint.
What storage capacity can the 24-bay configuration support?
The 24-bay configuration supports various drive types and capacities. With modern high-capacity SAS drives, the system can deliver multiple terabytes of usable storage depending on RAID level selection and drive specifications, providing excellent capacity-to-footprint ratio for enterprise deployments.
