Viglen HS224a Storage Node
The HS224a delivers high density storage in a 4U rack–mount form factor.

It features high–efficiency (over 89%), 900W redundant power supplies, an optimised cooling system design for 100% cooling redundancy, the latest in serial–ATA RAID technology from AMCC storage (3Ware) and the next generation AMD® Socket F Server Board for optimised throughput and performance and compatible AMD® Quad Core (Barcelona) processors.

 
Key Features
RAID 6 Performance
3Ware’s parallel XOR RAID 6 parity generation algorithm maximises RAID 6 throughput, so that RAID 6 enable 9650SE controllers deliver unequalled RAID 6 performance. The 3Ware 9650SE–24M8 PCI Express SATA II RAID Controller delivers over 800MB/s RAID 6 reads and exceeds 600MB/s RAID 6 writes, outshining the competition as the new standard bearer for RAID 6 performance.
Dense Storage — Thin Chassis
Supports up to 24 Terabytes of storage capacity when deployed with 24 hot–swap 1TB SATA drives in just 4U of rack space.
Cost Effective
With up to 24 high-capacity, cost–effective SATA hard drives in just 4U of rack space, the HS324i delivers reliable high-speed storage at a fraction of the cost when compared with equivalent SAS/SCSI products.
