 
BlueStor™ PCIe RAID With PeSAN™ Technology
The
first direct-attached PCI storage available, BlueStor™
with PeSAN™ Technology is changing the way large storage
arrays are scaled. Using disruptive technology covered
under U.S. Patent 7,000,037 PeSAN™ is the result
of more than five years of active development and can now be
easily deployed using the BlueStor™ Storage Server or
any high performance PCI Express (PCIe) server.
Each PeSAN™ 3U rackmount storage shelf is a self-contained
RAID subsystem using an internal high-performance, low-cost
SAS RAID controller that plugs directly into the BlueStor™
PCIe slot in a removable I-O module. Using just 16 disk
drives yields IOPS over 1 GB/s when connected to a host PCIe
x4 or x8 slot. The PeSAN™ is supplied standard with
a PCIe “external” adapter card which simply allows
attachment of an external PCIe cable to a host server’s
PCI Express bus.
By eliminating the requirement for a bridge conversion of parallel
to serial bus technologies and using a serial bus all the way
through from the host PCI bus to the disk drives, BlueStor™
provides the highest performance, widest-bandwidth storage in
the industry at very low cost per GB. The elimination
of bridges, and avoiding (parallel) SCSI, Fibre Channel, Infiniband
or other technologies requiring costly cables or switches yields
high performance with fewer and lower-cost components.
BlueStor™ with PeSAN™ technology is expandable to
256 PCIe devices (4,096 disk drives) without performance degradation,
using BlueStor™ PCIe Switches.
Like other BlueStor™ 3U rackmounts, this product is unique,
using lightweight, low-cost high-technology resin disk canisters
having integrated light pipes, latching handles and EMI shields
– all interchangeable with other BlueStor™ units
for easy maintenance and low spares cost. In fact, all
FRUs including the hot-swappable blower modules and power supplies
are interchangeable with the BlueStor™ 16-bay SAS Expander,
and any SAS Expander may be field upgraded to PeSAN™ by
replacing one plug-in module.
The PeSAN™ 3U rackmount is available as model PSAN-JS,
PSAN-RS, PSAN-JS-8 or PSAN-RS-8.
The PCIe technology roadmap is clear and robust. Jump
on the Blue Line and ride to the highest performance storage
technology available.
