Dual Controller Platforms - Storage Servers SBB

3U SBB Platform: Mission Critical Storage Solution from Supermicro

  • Innovative, fully redundant, fault-tolerant "Storage Cluster-in-a-box" system.
  • Dual, hot-swappable dual processor serverboard canisters for all active components.
  • Supports 16x 3.5" Hot-swap HDDs (SAS or SATA*) with the option to expand by using multiple 16x 3.5” SBB JBOD
  • Dual 10GbE connection between the Serverboards via the midplane:
    • If one serverboard fails, the other serverboard is able to take over control and access the HDD's (both controllers can also work as Active-active mode), keeping the system up and running.
    • Storage software is the key to enable this feature, which is available from several Supermicro's partners.
  • High-efficiency redundant power supplies and redundant cooling fans, the SBB storage server is a highly-available, high-reliability storage system at a competitive price.
