  3. JUST A BUNCH OF DISKS JBODs Then, , , Only an enclosure full of disks Simpler to manage > Had space for 8 to 16 hard disks
  4. JUST A BUNCH OF DISKS JBODs Now... High capacity, dual path Storage enclosure > Up to 90 hard disks > Hot swappable hard disks > Up to 20+ GB/s data transfer rat
  5. RAID STORAGE ' Redundant Array of Independent Disks Main Goals 1. 2. Increase Performance Increase Fault Tolerance RAID Then... Total Throughput 200 Mbyte/ s Few Hard disks
  6. RAID STORAGE RAID Now... > Maximum Capacity of 2.3 PB Maximum sustained Bandwidth > Maximum Disk Drives — 384 Supports upto 512 Hosts - 12,000 MB/s
  7. SCSI ' Small Computer System Interface SCSI, as Medium SCSI, as Protocol SCSI Then... Parallel SCSI Maximum no. of devices -16 Maximum Throughput — 320 Mbyte/s SCSI bus is multidrop
  8. SCSI SCSI Now... Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) > SAS allows up to 65,535 devices > Higher Throughput -3 or 6 Gbit/s The SAS bus operates point-to-point
