Product Description
The EMC CK048-KTN-STL4 is a high-performance disk enclosure engineered for demanding enterprise storage applications. With its 14 drive bays, it offers substantial capacity for 3.5-inch hard drives, serving as a robust foundation for storage area networks (SANs) or direct-attached storage (DAS) solutions. The primary advantage of this enclosure lies in its Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity, a technology renowned for its reliability, high throughput, and low latency, making it ideal for mission-critical applications such as databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing. This specific model features dual 4Gb Fibre Channel ports. The dual-port configuration is crucial for enterprise environments as it provides path redundancy. If one Fibre Channel connection fails, data can still be accessed through the secondary path, ensuring continuous operation and data availability. The 4Gbps speed per port offers significant bandwidth, allowing for rapid data transfer between the enclosure and the host servers or storage controllers. The enclosure is designed to accommodate SAS or SATA drives, providing flexibility in choosing the right balance of performance and cost for the stored data. Designed for ease of management and scalability, the EMC CK048-KTN-STL4 typically includes hot-swappable drive bays. This feature allows administrators to replace or add drives without powering down the enclosure or the connected systems, which is essential for maintaining uptime in 24/7 operational environments. The enclosure is usually designed for rack mounting, allowing for dense and organized deployment within data centers. It represents a reliable and high-performance solution for organizations needing to manage large volumes of data with enterprise-grade features.
