Amazing Lightweight and Space-Saving Architecture

Innovative enclosure design makes the VessJBOD 1000 series easy to lift and install 

into rackmount housings, especially for SMBs who are short of space.  As IT data 

centers  face  pressing  challenges  with  the  obvious  growth  of  digital  information, 

demanding storage requirements come with more cooling and floor space.   Making 

an efficient layout deployment is not just reducing square footage in an electrical or 

computer room, but also saving money from your IT budget.

When a JBOD is not just a JBOD

When a VessRAID can wake up a sleeping secondary VessJBOD via Wake-on-SAS 

support¹,  an  optimized  energy  management  and  data  availability  application  tells 

engineers they could tailor a better infrastructure for storage.  VessJBOD stays off-

line as a cascaded redundant system of VessRAID and goes active for data backup at 

a desired timing basis.  The PROMISE Vess family provides you a new fault-tolerant 

storage experience. 

Energy Efficiency Means Savings Effectiveness 

VessJBOD 1000 uses 80 PLUS Certified² power supplies.  80 PLUS means an 80% 

above energy-efficient program in power supply design.  80 PLUS qualified power 

supplies  not  only  lower  power  costs  and  reduce  current  draw  for  a  significant 

improvement of power quality, but also come with value-added non-energy benefits 

such as reductions of heat output, maintenance costs, and total cost of ownership as 

a better system reliability environment. 

Your Comprehensive Storage Partner

PROMISE  storage  solutions  comprise  various  combinations  of  host  bus  adapter, 

Vess system and enclosure series connections.  A VessRAID storage system can be 

direct attached with the FastTrak TX8668 adapter as host channel, and downlinks 

secondary VessJBOD expansion enclosures up to 80 drives.  A VessJBOD enclosure 

supports IOP based RAID adapters like SuperTrak EX8654, SuperTrak EX8658, and 

SuperTrak TX8658 as a massive disk storage pool.
