H-class MH860 storage system
 
 
Scalable Unified 10 GbE Storage for Datacenters
The MH860 is Nimbus’ most advanced multi-protocol storage system, ideal for HPC, storage-as-a-service, scientific computing, multimedia, and imaging (medical, satellite, and geophysical) applications. The MH860 offers iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS protocols, as well as SAN file system support, on one modular storage system based powerful 10 Gigabit Ethernet. FlexScale technology provides seamless expansion up to 216 TB using any combination of SATA, SAS, and SSD drives in one system. Six independent SAS expansion channels enable the MH860 to scale in performance and capacity while reducing energy, cooling, and cabling requirements. Quad 10 GbE ports, 24 GB of cache, and a 140 Gbps architecture provide the raw horsepower needed for bandwidth-critical applications, without the complexity and cost of Fibre Channel-based infrastructure. The MH860 draws as little as 19 W per TB, and unlike clustered systems, cost per TB decreases as storage capacity increases.
