ACTIDATA Q-DX6-CF 8TB-Mirror (4x 4TB EP-HDD) sistema di storage SAN Fibre Channel

The ACTIDATA Q-DX6-CF is a high-performance Fibre Channel SAN storage system designed for enterprise environments requiring reliable, redundant data storage. With a total raw capacity of 16 TB and a usable mirror capacity of 8 TB, this 2U rackmount system features four pre-installed 4 TB enterprise-grade hard drives. Dual active-active controllers with 8 GB cache each (16 GB total) ensure continuous operation and data integrity.

Advantages

Dual redundant controllers with battery-backed cache provide high availability and protection against data loss. Hot-swappable drives, power supplies, and cooling fans minimize downtime during maintenance. The system supports multiple RAID levels (0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60) for flexible data protection. With four 16Gb Fibre Channel ports per controller, it delivers high-speed connectivity for demanding applications.
