FlashDisk OpenSAN FX-400

Technical Specifications
Model FX-400 is a fully redundant “SAN-In-A-Box” storage solution that supports both high-performance Fibre Channel and cost-effective SATA storage. The FX-400 supports up to 4-hosts and is designed for performance and 24/7 availability. It supports SATA drives to be used as lower cost secondary storage for any nearline application requiring redundancy. And as your business needs change, upgrading from the FX-400 to the 8-host FX-600 is affordable and easily upgraded in the field.
