A JBOD with Green DNA

VTrak J5960 continues our record of using green technologies, incorporating green design (such as tiered power management), green production methods, and a commitment to environmental protection. Markedly reduced power consumption has been verified in independent laboratory tests conducted in Germany. See the full report here. In addition to green design, VTrak J5960 PSUs are certified 80 Plus Platinum and Energy Star Ready for high power conversion efficiency at different loads: 91% efficiency for 20% loads, 94% efficiency for 50% loads, and 91% efficiency for 100% loads.

Innovative GreenBoost Design for Energy Saving

GreenBoost presents a range of innovative design features aimed at conserving energy. Our patented Intelligent Power Management leverages the power-saving capabilities of multiple data storage devices to effectively control the power-saving mode of each drive. By optimizing each drive mode without compromising performance and reliability of the RAID group, we have achieved significant reductions in power consumption. During testing, the PROMISE VTrak J5960 enclosure equipped with patented Intelligent Power Management technology demonstrated energy savings of up to 30% when compared to competing enclosures, supporting data storage capacities ranging from 60 to 480 drives.

High-Density Storage, Expansion up to 8 Petabytes

The VTrak J5960 high-density SAS enterprise JBOD storage solution balances high performance and high capacity in a robust, quiet, energy efficient, cool running system. Each unit supports a Petabyte of storage capacity in a compact form factor with scalability potential to over 8 Petabytes per 8-unit cascade. As demand for very high capacity storage continues to increase, VTrak J5960 high-density storage is here to meet that demand.

The SAS zoning feature enables simultaneous sharing of the giant JBOD storage enclosure among multiple connected server nodes.

VTrak J5960 features fully redundant I/O modules, power supplies, and cooling units – in an all hot-swappable design - for constant high availability in enterprise environments, even in the event of component failure.

Optimized for High-Performance Datacenter

The VTrak J5960 is designed for enterprise environments that require very large capacity, high bandwidth and high speed. VTrak J5960 features six external 12Gb/s SAS ports per input/output (I/O) module; a total of twelve 12Gb/s SAS ports on each dual I/O module chassis, delivering the extremely high performance required for modern data centers.

Optimized for high-speed computing applications, cloud platforms and enterprise applications with up to 15GB/s aggregate transfer rate with 60 HDDs for heavy workload scenarios.

Maintainability

The cable-less innovative mechanical design of the VTrak J5960 enclosure and sliding rail system make it easy to service and maintain. The compact enclosure depth of 666 mm is ideal for data center with equipped racks of 1000 mm depth. It features a sliding top and sturdy sliding rail system that enables easy access to all HDDs and the interior while remaining safely mounted in the rack.

SAS IO modules are accessible for replacement from the front while SAS data ports remain at the back for host connectivity. The VTrak J5960 is unbeatable when it comes to physical maintenance of the system and accessibility of components.
