Base configurations are equipped with fully redundant hardware optimized for high capacity, expandability and low latency performance while the 3U/32TB model (SSG-6037B-CIB032) features 16x 3.5” hot-swap bays and are optimized for high capacity storage applications. This model ships half populated with 4TB SAS HDDs allowing it to be an affordable option for SMBs and remote offices to stay online 24/7. The 2U/20TB form factor model (SSG-2027B-CIB020H) boasts 24x 2.5” hot-swap drive bays that are fully populated with both SSD and HDD media. This model is ideal for high transactional and database-heavy applications and provides the continuous availability and performance usually excluded in smaller user environments.
Additionally, up to four Supermicro JBODs (16x 3.5” hot-swap bays) can be cascaded behind the CiB solution, which provide over 400TB of performance tiered high-availability storage.
