SG6000 storage appliances

SG6000 appliances: Overview

The StorageGRID SG6000 appliances are integrated storage and computing platforms

that operate as Storage Nodes in a StorageGRID system. These appliances can be used

in a hybrid grid environment that combines appliance Storage Nodes and virtual

(software-based) Storage Nodes.

The SG6000 appliances provide the following features:

•Available in two models:

◦SG6060, which includes 60 drives and supports expansion shelves.

◦SGF6024, which offers 24 solid state drives (SSDs).

•Integrate the storage and computing elements for a StorageGRID Storage Node.

•Include the StorageGRID Appliance Installer to simplify Storage Node deployment and configuration.

•Include SANtricity System Manager for managing and monitoring the storage controllers and drives.

•Include a baseboard management controller (BMC) for monitoring and diagnosing the hardware in the

compute controller.

•Support up to four 10-GbE or 25-GbE connections to the StorageGRID Grid Network and Client Network.

•Support Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) drives. When these drives are used with the

Drive Security feature in SANtricity System Manager, unauthorized access to data is prevented.

SG6060 overview

The StorageGRID SG6060 appliance includes a compute controller and a storage

controller shelf that contains two storage controllers and 60 drives. Optionally, 60-drive

expansion shelves can be added to the appliance.

Controllers in SG6000 appliances

Each model of the StorageGRID SG6000 appliance includes an SG6000-CN compute

controller in a 1U enclosure and duplex E-Series storage controllers in a 2U or 4U

enclosure, depending on the model. Review the diagrams to learn more about each type

of controller.

All appliances: SG6000-CN compute controller

•Provides compute resources for the appliance.

•Includes the StorageGRID Appliance Installer.

StorageGRID software is not preinstalled on the appliance. This software is retrieved from

the Admin Node when you deploy the appliance.

•Can connect to all three StorageGRID networks, including the Grid Network, the Admin Network, and the

Client Network.

•Connects to the E-Series storage controllers and operates as the initiator.
