Pinnacle 2X5401H8 - 2U Dual Processor Xeon System

Features and Benefits

8TB of native storage in a 2U chassis a few years ago would have been unheard of, but in today's world it's reality.  In the case of our 2U storage system, we provide you with both quality and quantity.

Advanced Clustering uses low-power enterprise rated hard drives to reduce your total power consumption and decrease your failure rates.  To help protect your data various RAID configurations are available, including double parity RAID6.  We will help you determine which RAID level is best for your application.  Understanding that performance and data protection are both important we install a battery back-up unit with the RAID controller.  This will prevent silent data lost during power failures, and protects the write cache so which can significantly boost performance.  Through the years we have installed hundreds of RAID systems and understand that these few extras might cost a little bit more, but the added security and performance is priceless.

Our knowledgeable sales and technical staff will walk you through the process of determining if this system is right for you. This includes: understanding your application, heating and cooling challenges, space requirements, software and management needs. Knowledge of your application and requirements will help us serve you better, and ensure that you get the perfect Pinnacle server.
