PetaBox

Capricorn Technologies introduced the PetaBox Product Family, designed for massive data storage. The PetaBox supports petabyte-class storage with state-of-the-art density, low power consumption and a low total cost of ownership. The PetaBox is scalable from individual terabyte nodes to a full petabyte cluster. A single 19-inch rack can support up to 64TB of raw disk space, a density achieved through a design that consumes as little as 50 watts per terabyte. Four models of PetaBox currently are available: the GB1000, a 1.0TB node; the GB1600, a 1.6 TB node; the TB40, a 40TB rack; and the TB64, a 64TB rack. Each node has four hard drives per node, an ATA interface, rotational vibration compensation, 8MB of cache, 8.5ms of typical latency and an EZ-Latch disk mounting system. Nodes also feature a 1GHz VIA C3 CPU, up to 1GB of DDR266 RAM, two USB 2.0 ports, 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Ethernet and an optional 16x2 character LCD.
