Sun StorEdge™ S1 Array Positioning
Introduction
The Sun StorEdge™ S1 array is a rackable, thin storage product that is 1 rack unit (1 U) high, with
multiple rackmounting options. The Sun StorEdge S1 array can house up to three 18 GB or three 36 GB
SCSI disk drives. This product is designed to be an affordable, versatile, rackmountable, incremental
storage solution for a wide variety of markets.
Its 1U form factor enables companies to maximize rack density, thereby minimizing the use of valuable
vertical space. Products which occupy less space are essentially less expensive to maintain and operate.
Potential applications for the Sun StorEdge S1 array include hot−swap disks for rackmount servers, hot−
swap boot disks, hot−swap mirroring of systems and data disks for rackmount servers, and incremental
storage.
Telcordia NEBS Level 3 certified, the unit ships with a number of NEBS features that certify the fire
proof and fire resistant enclosure to withstand Zone 4 earthquakes, operate within compliant levels of
EMI and ESD, and to operate in environments with non−ambient temperature, high humidity, and
airborne contaminants. These features not only meets the demands of telecoms, service providers, and
military entities, but also provides unparalleled peace of mind at no extra cost to other customers who
may not experience such environmental extremes.
To support deployment in today’s typical data center, various rackmount support options are standard. A
choice of AC or –48V/–60V DC power is also available.
Product Family Placement
The Sun StorEdge S1 array—part of the StorEdge family of storage solutions—is the next generation of the
Netra™ st D130 storage array. The Sun StorEdge S1 array is a low−profile, rackmounted, low−cost thin
storage that provides incremental storage for Netra and other Sun servers.
