Infortrend Launches New All-Flash Storage Solution
Infortrend Technology, Inc. has recently announced the release of its
first all-flash expansion enclosure, known as
JB 4000U, designed specifically to cater to performance-hungry applications like artificial intelligence, media editing, and backup solutions. Released on March 11, 2025, this innovative product aims to streamline storage expansion, providing necessary speed and large capacity, crucial for modern computing needs.
What is the JB 4000U?
The JB 4000U represents a
Just a Bunch of Flash (JBOF) model, engineered as an expansion solution for the
EonStor GS U.2 NVMe unified storage system. With a compact
2U form factor, it supports up to
24 U.2 NVMe SSDs within a single unit. This not only maximizes physical storage space but also enhances performance significantly with a throughput of up to
24 GB/s when set up in a dual-controller configuration.
Frank Lee, the Senior Director of Product Planning at Infortrend, commented,
“Our first U.2 NVMe JBOF model, JB 4000U, delivers superior performance and exceptionally high capacity, all within a 2U rack chassis.” This highlights the product’s unique robustness in comparison to other expansion enclosures, particularly those using SAS SSD technology, which is often more expensive.
Expanding Storage Possibilities
One of the standout features of the JB 4000U is its scalability. Each unit can hold up to
1.47 PB of storage, and by adding up to
three additional JBOFs, users can expand their storage capabilities to an impressive
4.4 PB in total. This is a substantial benefit for companies and individuals dealing with extremely large data sets or requiring high-speed access to substantial amounts of data.
For demanding applications, combining the JB 4000U with the flagship
EonStor GS 5024UE U.2 NVMe SSD storage can yield throughput capabilities of up to
50 GB/s and enable
PB-level SSD capacities. Additionally, for those focused on efficient, fast backups and restorations, there is a scalable solution with the
EonStor GS 3024UT and
JB 4000U using
61.44TB QLC U.2 NVMe SSDs.
Cost Efficiency and Performance
One key advantage of transitioning to U.2 NVMe SSDs is their
affordability compared to SAS SSDs. The JB 4000U maintains high performance at relatively lower costs, making it an attractive option for enterprises looking to balance profitability with advanced technological needs. With fewer alternatives in the market that offer similar specs and performance, the JB 4000U establishes itself as a premier choice for anyone in need of high-capacity, high-speed data access solutions.
