Introduction The 2Gb SANbloc Series provides a highly flexible, high performance storage solution that evolves to meet your changing needs. Based on a modular, "building block" enclosure design, the 2Gb SANbloc Series offers exceptional scalability. Each enclosure supports up to 14 disk drives, or 1TB of capacity in a dense 3U form factor. As your storage needs grow, simply add 2Gb SANbloc enclosures dynamically - up to a total of 8 enclosures. The 2Gb SANbloc Series can be scaled in multiple dimensions, enabling flexible configuration of capacity, performance and functionality, to match and grow with virtually any application or IT environment. The enclosure is available with your choice of copper, or optical I/O modules, and is downward compatible to 1GB, protecting your investment. A high performance, industry first Quad Loop (4 FCAL loops on one enclosure) capability provides over 700 MB/s from a single enclosure. 2Gb Fibre Channel connectivity provides simplified cabling and extremely high bandwidth, for outstanding performance in demanding applications. Features • Redundant data paths with dual-ported fibre drives and dual (200MB/s) fibre channel loops for a total of 400 MB/s. • Quad Loop feature, provides over 700MB/s from a single enclosure.

Chapter 1: Introduction
This Chapter introduces the 2Gb SANbloc Series. The main
features of the Series are described along with a list of the
models that are available.
Introduction
The 2Gb SANbloc Series provides a highly flexible, high
performance storage solution that evolves to meet your
changing needs. Based on a modular, “building block”
enclosure design, the 2Gb SANbloc Series offers exceptional
scalability. Each enclosure supports up to 14 disk drives, or
1TB of capacity in a dense 3U form factor. As your storage
needs grow, simply add 2Gb SANbloc enclosures dynami-
cally - up to a total of 8 enclosures. The 2Gb SANbloc
Series can be scaled in multiple dimensions, enabling
flexible configuration of capacity, performance and
functionality, to match and grow with virtually any appli-
cation or IT environment. The enclosure is available with
your choice of copper, or optical I/O modules, and is
downward compatible to 1GB, protecting your investment. A
high performance, industry first Quad Loop (4 FCAL loops
on one enclosure) capability provides over 700 MB/s from a
single enclosure. 2Gb Fibre Channel connectivity provides
simplified cabling and extremely high bandwidth, for
outstanding performance in demanding applications.
