| 1U vs Blades Configurations
|
- C1600 1U supports up to 48TB, 72TB, 96TB, 144TB using 300GB disks
- supports a max of 48 drives per 4U
- Blades supports up to 60TB, 120TB, 180TB using 300GB disks
- supports a max of 60 drives per 4U -- blades are denser than 1Us
|
| System Design Assumptions
|
- Assume 300GB IDE disks - 20% more capacity when using 360GB disks
- Assume 40U high racks
- Assume power and cooling is properly supported inside the colo building
- Assume power and cooling is properly supported inside your rack
- Assume you have good switches, good cable, good network topology
- Assume you have good data distribution, good data management tools
- Assume Mini-ITX based motherboards ( good up to P4-3.2Ghz )
- Count the number of disks per 4U space
