Flexible peta-scale storage optimized for all workloads

VS320D-RS12 is a powerful hybrid server storage solution, designed with tool-less drive bays to simplify both maintenance and upgrades. Its adaptable design allows for access from both the front and rear. It can scale up to 420 drive bays and accommodate up to four third-party JBODs. With exceptional performance, reaching 2.4GB/s sequential 1M R/W throughput, the VS320D-RS12 offers remarkable scalability, expanding up to 10PB of storage when fully configured. Additionally, its C2F module design provides advanced memory and data protection, safeguarding against potential threats. Together, these attributes establish a dependable and efficient server solution, ideally suited for contemporary data environments.

High performance and low latency

VS320D-RS12 supports read/write caching and auto tiering, leveraging SSDs to accelerate I/O performance and meet the I/O needs of enterprise applications.

SSD cache

SSD cache boosts storage performance by using high-speed SSDs to store frequently accessed data, reducing latency and speeding up read and write operations.

Auto-tiering

Auto-tiering cost-effectively and dynamically places hot data on SSD and cold data on lower cost high-capacity drives, allowing you to optimize application performance without straining your budget or sacrificing capacity.

Expandable JBOD

The ability to expand provides scalable storage by adding additional disk drives to existing storage systems. This allows for seamless capacity growth, cost-effective scaling, and flexibility, enabling businesses to meet increasing data demands without replacing the entire storage infrastructure.

High availability and disaster recovery

VS320D-RS12 offers centralized data management, allowing quick I/O path switching after failures, and its remote-replication technology facilitates fast recovery of storage services in the event of a disaster. Snapshot technology can also quickly restore corrupted or compromised data after malicious attacks, deletions or ransomware incidents.

Multipath

Multipath provides multiple pathways between storage devices and servers, ensuring data accessibility and fault tolerance. It enhances performance by load balancing and increases reliability by offering alternative routes in case of a path failure.

Remote replication

Remote replication duplicates data to a secondary location. This enhances business continuity, enables quick disaster recovery, and supports uninterrupted operations by providing secure and accessible backups in different geographical locations.

Snapshot

Snapshots capture a system's state at a specific time, enabling rapid data recovery from failures or accidental deletions. They are faster and use less storage than traditional backups, enhancing business continuity and data management efficiency with minimal resource usage.

Intuitive ASUS Storage Manager tool

Storage is increasingly crucial for enterprise applications, handling extensive data processing – and ASUS Storage Manager is here to help. Its components work harmoniously to improve maintenance efficiency, monitor storage performance and enhance system stability. With intuitive features, IT admins and even everyday users are empowered to easily monitor disk health, manage clusters of servers, set alerts, track power-on time, monitor temperature and more.
