Today sees the release of Lanner Electronics’ new FX-3411 high performance 3U rackmount cloud storage appliance, supporting the Intel® Xeon® Sandy Bridge-EP/Ivy Bridge E5-2600 CPU platform, formerly codenamed “Romley”. For storage and networking it features up to 12 3.5”SAS/SATA HDD drive bays and up to 16 copper GbE ports or 8 SFP+ ports. “Cloud-based storage is an increasing necessity for today’s businesses and telecommunications needs,” said Albert Pang, Vice President at Lanner. “The need for secure, high-capacity storage coupled with high data transfer bandwidth is answered perfectly by the our new FX-3411. The 12 3.5” storage bays allow for an impressive storage capacity in a single unit.”

By utilizing the latest generation of Intel® processors, Lanner has ensured that the FX-3411 is both powerful and future-proof. The two Xeon® E5-2600 CPUs are linked with QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) at 25.6 GB/s per link; serial connections which ensure speedy and secure data transfer, allowing the two CPUs to function as a coherent whole.
