Features and components of the Cohesity 5270 Appliance
This section describes the features and components of the Cohesity 5270 Appliance.
Table: Cohesity 5270 Appliance features
Feature | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Processor | Intel Xeon Scalable Fifth generation Silver 4514Y | |
Appliance software version | Flex Appliance 7.0 or higher | |
Performance and capacity |
| |
System memory configuration (DIMMS) | 64GB, up to a maximum of 512GB ( for expandable storage configurations with 8TB drives) 768GB ( for high-density storage configurations with 20TB drives) Note: When you purchase the first storage expansion shelf, it includes both the storage expansion shelf and 256GB of memory that replaces the existing 64GB. In addition, when purchasing the fifth expansion shelf, 256GB of memory is also included with the storage shelf. When purchasing 991 TiB storage configuration, memory should be upgraded to 768 GB replacing base 64GB memory with no storage shelves configuration. | |
Space reduction | The deduplication engine provides up to 100 times reduction in storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar levels of bandwidth reduction. | |
Scalable architecture | Due to fingerprinting and RAID redundancy, the overall storage capabilities are not a simple multiplication of the disk size and the total number of disks. | |
High availability | Supports redundant hot-swappable disks and power modules. | |
RAID levels | RAID 1 (standard mirroring) and RAID 6 (block level striping with double distributed parity) are implemented as follows:
Note: The disk drives in the appliance are pre-formatted before the appliance is shipped. These drives should not be moved into different slots or otherwise rearranged. | |
Fibre Channel support | The Cohesity 5270 Appliance can be ordered with none, one, two, three or four PCIe 32 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter cards preinstalled. | |
PCIe 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards | Yes (with Fibre Optic ports) | |
I/O Ports | 12 Gb SAS-3 ports (PCIe-based) (RAID controller) | 2 Used to connect the Appliance compute node to the 2U12 Primary Storage Shelf |
10/25 GbE Ethernet ports (PCIe-based) | Up to eight, depending on the appliance I/O configuration | |
32 Gb Fibre Channel ports (PCIe-based) | Up to eight, depending on the appliance I/O configuration | |
10 Gb Ethernet ports (on-board) | 4 | |
Additional storage | Yes You can attach up to six optional storage shelves to the Cohesity 5270 Appliance. Depending on the appliance configuration you purchase, multiple usable storage capacity options are available. | |
