Philip, You can consider DataON DNS-1600 4U 24Bay 6Gb/s SAS JBOD Storage. http://dataonstorage.com/dataon-products/dns-1600-4u-6g-sas-to-sas-sata-jbod -storage.html
It is the best fit for ZFS Storage application. It can be a good replacement of Sun/Oracle J4400 and J4200 There are also Ultra density DNS-1660 4U 60 Bay 6Gb/s SAS JBOD Storage and other form factor JBOD. http://dataonstorage.com/dataon-products/6g-sas-jbod/dns-1660-4u-60-bay-6g-3 5inch-sassata-jbod.html Rocky -----Original Message----- From: zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org [mailto:zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Philip Brown Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 10:05 AM To: zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: [zfs-discuss] reliable, enterprise worthy JBODs? So, another hardware question :) ZFS has been touted as taking maximal advantage of disk hardware, to the point where it can be used efficiently and cost-effectively on JBODs, rather than having to throw more expensive RAID arrays at it. Only trouble is.. JBODs seem to have disappeared :( Sun/Oracle has discontinued its j4000 line, with no replacement that I can see. IBM seems to have some nice looking hardware in the form of its EXP3500 "expansion trays"... but they only support it connected to an IBM (SAS) controller... which is only supported when plugged into IBM server hardware :( Any other suggestions for (large-)enterprise-grade, supported JBOD hardware for ZFS these days? Either fibre or SAS would be okay. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
