GSI 5000 Data Appliance
GSI 5000 clustered storage system architecture consists of independent nodes that are integrated with the GSI-OS system software. The system supports Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac operating systems based on basic file sharing standards. The nodes in the system communicate with each other via 40 Gbps or 100Gbps network lines, so there is almost no latency. With a highly redundant design, the system ensures that data is safe in case the hard drives fail, or even a single node fails.
The system is easily scalable up to 10 PB by adding new nodes to the cluster. The GSI 5000 is integrated with the GSI 3000 system to store the processed data.
