Our newsletter will be issued infrequently (i.e. every other

Do More. Spend Less. Introducing Delta-V.
------------------------------------------------------------------

On December 2, we introduced our newest storage solution, the
Delta-V. Designed with cost optimization in mind, the Delta-V (∆V)
is a storage appliance that scales from 2 to 31 terabytes of 
space, for well under $1,000 per terabyte.

The ∆V is available with 4 (1U), 12 (2U), 16 (3U), or 24 (4U) hot-
swappable hard disks, providing up to 6, 18, 24, or 36 terabytes 
of raw storage capacity in RAID6 configurations, respectively. 
RAID10 configurations can provide reduced usable storage in order 
to achieve greater performance for database operations. Delta-V 
presents storage simultaneously as file-based and iSCSI block, 
with NFS and CIFS/SMB. Delta-V units may also be aggregated into 
storage clusters providing Petabytes (PB) of capacity when 
utilizing cluster file systems and RAIN designs. 

The Delta-V demonstrated sustained data transfer rates of 500+ 
MB/s with greater than 1800 IOPs in a RAID10 configuration at SC08
this year.

The following are prices for some of the Delta-V line:


	Form	Capacity	List		Product
	Factor	(raw)		Price		Code
	-------	---------	--------	--------

	1U	4  TB		 3160		SI-dv1-4Tn
	2U	12 TB		 6123		SI-dv2-12Tn
	3U	16 TB		 8742		SI-dv3-16Tn
	4U	36 TB		12732		SI-dv4-36T	

These units are expandable to include 10 GbE and InfiniBand ports, 
as well as multiple gigabit ports. Units come pre-configured as 
either RAID10 or RAID6 depending upon your preference, with a 
default to RAID6 if not otherwise specified.

Please check http://scalableinformatics.com/delta-v or email 
info@scalableinformatics.com for more information.
