VSP G800 model
The VSP G800 is a highly reliable storage system that offers high storage capacity with
full redundancy to better protect data and manage storage operations.
The storage system consists of a 4U enclosure that includes two controllers and two
optional NAS modules. Drives are supported using drive trays connected to the
controllers. The CBLH can be expanded by mounting a host port expansion chassis.
The storage system supports 512 GB of high-speed cache memory. The DIMMs are
arranged as 256 GB per controller. Storage system interfaces are listed in the following
table. The maximum number of ports can be increased by connecting a host port
expansion chassis.
