Titan SiliconServer

Server Specifications

B lueArc’s Titan SiliconServer is designed to meet the

requirements of today’s sophisticated enterprise data cen-
ters with new levels of storage performance, scalability and reliabil-
ity. Titan is the first storage solution that consolidates and man-
ages up to 256 terabytes of data in a single storage pool.
Titan is built on the SiliconServer Architecture and offers enterprise-class
management tools – including data migration, replication and anti-virus sup-
port. This customer-proven, hardware-implemented architecture maximizes
data access and user loads with extremely low latency, resulting in increased
productivity and significantly reduced cost of ownership.
