Spend Less. Introducing Delta-V. ------------------------------------------------------------------ On December 2, we introduced our newest storage solution, the Delta-V. Designed with cost optimization in mind, the Delta-V (∆V) is a storage appliance that scales from 2 to 31 terabytes of space, for well under $1,000 per terabyte. The ∆V is available with 4 (1U), 12 (2U), 16 (3U), or 24 (4U) hot- swappable hard disks, providing up to 6, 18, 24, or 36 terabytes of raw storage capacity in RAID6 configurations, respectively. RAID10 configurations can provide reduced usable storage in order to achieve greater performance for database operations. Delta-V presents storage simultaneously as file-based and iSCSI block, with NFS and CIFS/SMB. Delta-V units may also be aggregated into storage clusters providing Petabytes (PB) of capacity when utilizing cluster file systems and RAIN designs. The Delta-V demonstrated sustained data transfer rates of 500+ MB/s with greater than 1800 IOPs in a RAID10 configuration at SC08 this year. The following are prices for some of the Delta-V line: Form Capacity List Product Factor (raw) Price Code ------- --------- -------- -------- 1U 4 TB 3160 SI-dv1-4Tn 2U 12 TB 6123 SI-dv2-12Tn 3U 16 TB 8742 SI-dv3-16Tn 4U 36 TB 12732 SI-dv4-36T These units are expandable to include 10 GbE and InfiniBand ports, as well as multiple gigabit ports. Units come pre-configured as either RAID10 or RAID6 depending upon your preference, with a default to RAID6 if not otherwise specified.
