Mars 412 12x HDD Ceph Storage Appliance

Mars 412 12x HDD Ceph Storage Appliance | Ceph storage appliance for enterprise | Ambedded

Scalable Storage - ARM Server Technology: UniVirStor Dense:Mars 412. Mars 412 Ceph Storage Appliance is designed to meet large capacity data storage, it offers 12xHDD OSD for ceph cluster in a 2U server chassis, able to achieve 240TB per chassis. Large capacity storage often prefers to use HDD for Ceph storage as HDDs are significantly cost-effective when it comes to cost per TB, when the application requires storing vast amounts of data where the performance requirements are not extremely high.
For storage environments where the performance is a critical factor, the combination of HDDs OSD (Mars 412) and Flash OSD (Mars 500 or Mars 524) can be used, with Flash (NVMe) played for cache tiering frequently accessed data while using HDDs for the back storage. Ambedded is Taiwan efficient ARM microserver Ceph storage solutions: Ceph storage technology, ARM server integration, software-defined storage, enterprise storage optimization, Ceph appliance cost savings, storage management software and cluster storage computing provider. Ambedded's Mars 400 series redefines Ceph storage efficiency with ARM microserver technology, delivering compact, power-conscious solutions without compromising on performance. Ideal for businesses aiming for high-density storage with minimal space and energy requirements.
