Storage Blocks
Storage Blocks are fault-tolerant configurations of three, five or nine Storage Bricks with a data protection algorithm that provides for continuous data access in the event of system or component failure. Under such circumstances, a dedicated “hot standby” Storage Brick automatically reconstructs data. From the user’s perspective, functionality is uninterrupted. Each brick is a data server loaded with TerraGrid software. With input/output (I/O) rates in excess of 10 gigabytes per second, the blocks support Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand network fabrics.
