Overview
The PetaBox GB series of data storage units are 1U nodes with capacity ranging from 1 to 3 terabytes of raw disk space. PetaBox GB data storage units are the basic building blocks of the TB series of racked storage, which provide the highest storage density at the lowest possible cost.
Shipped with fedora linux, the PetaBox can take advantage of the full suite of linux tools available, including all of the usual linux filesystems. NFS, FTP, HTTP, or even samba may be used to present the data from the PetaBox.
Scalable Architecture
The PetaBox is completely scalable, from individual terabyte nodes to a full petabyte cluster. A single 19-inch rack can support up to 120TB of raw disk space. This density is achieved through an economy of design that consumes as little as 27 watts per terabyte.
Power is Key
The PetaBox product family’s modest power consumption provides a host of benefits, including reduced operating temperatures and enhanced reliability, while keeping operating cost, cooling requirements, and maintenance to an absolute minimum. Combined with the PetaBox’ economical entry point, these features yield the lowest TCO available today.
