6498 Storage System


Based on Engenio’s sixth-generation XBB™ architecture, the 6498 storage system integrates native InfiniBand connectivity, high-performance FC or high-capacity SATA disk drives, and powerful storage management to create a solution with exceptional performance, up to 90 TB of capacity and fully-featured functionality.

This exciting combination will appeal to HPC and technical computing environments – such as energy, Government labs, biosciences, supercomputing, and scientific research and development – that utilize InfiniBand-based server clusters for high-bandwidth programs and complex application processing. Its high per-channel bandwidth delivers maximum throughput across a minimum number of InfiniBand connections – saving switch ports and lowering acquisition and service costs. And the 6498 storage system’s native InfiniBand interfaces provide a cost and performance advantage over FC-based or gateway-based solutions for environments utilizing InfiniBand as a server clustering interconnect.
