Modules

Overview

Engenio's storage systems are based on combining controller, array and drive modules. This approach enables lower acquisition and expansion costs while maintaining maximum flexibility. Our modular design avoids over-configuration – creating an affordable entry-point – without sacrificing future scalability. And when requirements change, modular “pay-as-you-grow” scalability keeps expansion costs down through optimal “just-in-time” purchasing.

 With three primary components, controller modules, array modules and drive modules, custom configurations can be built to address specific performance or capacity requirements. Each module is fully fault tolerant with automated I/O path failover and redundant, hot-swappable components to ensure the highest availability.

Drive Module
Drive Module
Redundant, dual-active drive paths guarantee maximum performance and accessibility.

Controller Module
Controller Module
Provides 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel host or SAN connectivity and support for FC or SATA drives.

Array Module
Array Module
Supports dual-active controllers and up to 14 FC or SATA drives for a fully-featured system in a single 3U module.
