Overview:
Simple & flexible storage expansion for Enterprise ZFS NAS
The EJ1600 expansion enclosure is designed for expanding the storage space on a QNAP Enterprise ZFS NAS by connecting multiple expansion enclosures via high-speed mini SAS cables. Featuring a 6 Gbps SAS interface on the chassis, the EJ1600 ensures fast data passthrough from 6 Gbps SAS-enabled Enterprise ZFS NAS. This is especially useful for virtualization applications and large data applications that require high-performance interconnection, such as video surveillance, archiving large data, and TV broadcast storage, to provide businesses with optimized efficiency and maximized ROI. The EJ1600 connects to the Enterprise ZFS NAS via the dual path mini-SAS design to sustain continuous operations even if an external JBOD cable is disconnected.
- Dual-channel (Dual Path) to tolerate single node failure for uninterrupted operations
- Missing Mode protection
- High density, high efficiency and high scalability
- Flexible management with the QES Storage Manager
- Ideal backup storage for the dual-controller Enterprise ZFS NAS
Dual path design to ensure continuous operations
The EJ1600 and Enterprise ZFS NAS all provide dual-channel (Dual Path) to tolerate single node failure. Even if an external JBOD cable is disconnected due to external damage to the mini-SAS cable, it can still run normally. This is essential for intermachine data protection and capacity scalability for uninterrupted mission-critical enterprise tasks. Simply connect a EJ1600 to an Enterprise ZFS NAS and power it on, the NAS will detect hard drives in the EJ1600 as newly-installed local drives. You can seamlessly expand and manage the NAS capacity by using the powerful QES Storage Manager.
