eRacks/NAS50

Our original flagship eRacks/NAS50 is a 9U rackmount storage server with 50 removable drive bays with total up to 900TB* of storage (1000 TB or One Full Petabyte, if using SMR / Nearline-storage drives - contact us today for a quote!).

Cloudy

Suitable for cloud storage, NAS/Local LAN usage, media libraries, or any number of other storage uses, the eRacks/NAS50 is a truly petascale solution - four eRacks/NAS50 servers in a standard 42u rack gives you 3.6 Petabytes - with room to spare for a UPS, KVM, Network switch/firewall, or other of eRacks' rack accessories.

Pre-provisioned

In keeping with eRacks' signature service of saving you time and money by pre-configuring your system to be as turnkey as possible, eRacks can preinstall and configure your server three ways:

- Your choice of Cloud software is available, including OpenStack, CloudStack, Eucalyptus, OpenNebula, ProxMox, Ceph, or other - just specify in the "Notes" field -

- Your choice of NAS software / OS is available on request, including FreeNAS, NAS4Free, OpenMediaVault, or your choice - just specify it in the "Notes" field when you place your order.

- Or, you may choose one of our regular distros, and simply ask for your preferred packages and storage options - Ceph, MooseFS, LizardFS, Samba,NFS, Novell, Apple and any other available configuration requests - just add it in the Notes.

This model has been updated with options for Dual Xeon multicore CPUs - up to 96 cores!

At full capacity, this system houses 900 terabytes (18TB x 50 drives).

Read our press release for the 2014 configuration.

The new Seagate & HGST 18TB, 16TB, 14TB, 12TB, 10TB and 8TB drives are Helium-filled - which require far less rotational energy, making them 23-44% more efficient - and the drives are also lighter (the helium helps, here!), meaning the packing crate has a lower shipping weight as well, saving money on shipping as well as on month-to-month electricity bills - a truly green solution.

Forget Idaho

Your Own Private Cloud is what you really want - and we can provide it for you! Not only can we build and provision your OpenStack config (from one, to three, to many servers), We can host it for you too! We have colocation rackspace and/or dedicated servers available! eMail us today for details, info@eracks.com.

Any Which Way

The default configuration is a "starter" config, and there are choices available to partially populate your unit, to make it accessible at a lower initial price, and the storage can be increased later by filling the empty drive trays.

For cloud configurations such as OpenStack, CloudStack, Eucalyptus, Ceph, and others, you may put the number of servers or desired summary in the notes field (eg all-in-one, storage only, etc) or contact us directly for more involved configurations.

Note that other memory configurations, including other types and speeds of RAM are available, including Hi-speed DDR4 ECC REG, etc - contact us for details and a custom quote.

Western Digital Red, Red Pro, Black, Purple, Blue, or Green drives are also available, emailus for details, at info@eracks.com.
