Celestica’s New SD4100 Storage Expansion Platform

Performance and High Availability Meets Ease and Cost-Effectiveness

In today’s dynamic environment, modern enterprises get pulled in multiple directions when navigating a technology transformation. A comprehensive digital strategy creates a distinct competitive advantage. Organizations are often constrained by limited budgets, difficulty attracting skilled talent, and data security and business continuity risks. The SD4100 was designed to address these challenges and help organizations balance their objectives with real-world limitations.

Introducing the SD4100

Celestica’s next-generation hard disk drive (HDD) storage expansion platform offers a range of benefits including improved performance, affordability,  data redundancy, and ease of use. The SD4100 is a 2U 12-drive bay enterprise-class SAS-4 storage expansion system with redundant architecture for greater data availability. By combining the performance of SAS-4 uplinks and redundant hot-swappable components with the cost-effectiveness of HDDs, the SD4100 provides an economical, easy-to-scale storage platform. 

A Value-Based Design

Embracing dynamic new technologies such as AI and HPC, while containing costs is a critical balancing act. With up to 264TB* of data storage capacity, the SD4100 offers exceptional scalability and value. It's the ideal platform to create cost-effective, tiered storage architectures.

Optimized Data Availability

Sacrificing data availability and dependable operations is never an option. The SD4100’s high-availability architecture (power, cooling, host connection) and hot-swappable components provide dependability you can trust. Plus, the dual Expander Storage Module (ESM) canister design provides internal 1+1 redundancy.

Scalable Architecture

The SD4100 can scale as you need by combining multiple SD4100 platforms to accommodate data growth and connect to our family of storage controllers, including the next-generation SC6100. 

Ideal for Both Small and Large Organizations

Deployment flexibility and ease of scalability make the SD4100 ideal for both small and large enterprises that require a high level of efficiency and performance. It provides the economics of a lower-cost HDD deployment with the availability and redundancy needed for modern operations that have little patience for downtime or data loss. The SD4100 provides vital backup and recovery; data replication; scalable software-defined storage; and archive storage capabilities.
