Chenbro
Unveils Update to Open-Bay Product Line with New Server Chassis Models
for Flexibility, Cost Efficiency, and Security
Introducing
the new family of chassis updates to support the needs of growing SMEs:
the RM23800, RM23804, RM24500, and RM24504 SKUs
Taipei,
Taiwan, Feb 23, 2021 - Rackmount server and storage
manufacturer, Chenbro (TWSE: 8210), has announced a new line of updates
to its open-bay server chassis products.
Joining Chenbro’s existing open-bay products, the new family of chassis
includes the RM23800, RM23804, RM24500, and RM24504 SKUs and have been
designed to bring them in line with Chenbro’s new modular platform
without excluding the needs of customers who still want open-bay
products. The SKUs which end in ‘00’ have no HDD cage on the chassis,
meaning customers can choose SK storage kits to install on either the
‘-00’ or ‘-04’ models, depending on their needs.
Each of the new models in the series also comes integrated with
Chenbro’s unique modular and toolless techniques, which have been
designed to fulfill the different needs of small-to-medium enterprises
(SMEs) and support their growing businesses.
The new lines are a more flexible, cost-effective solution for users
who don’t need considerable amounts of HDD storage space, aimed at
applications within the retail, banking, government, and the
media/entertainment sectors. Additionally, they can be mixed and
matched with Chenbro’s Storage Expansion Kit (SK series), if required.
Take, for example, the surveillance application of a retail store or
fast-food chain restaurant. In this scenario, the store’s CCTV video
footage might only contain a total of 20TB of video footage, so the
server system only needs two physical HDDs. Especially since such video
footage is likely to be backed up in the cloud or other local storage
for security reasons.
An
Affordable, Customized Solution
The updated open-bay server chassis line boasts a flexible
configuration architecture that enables users to customize affordable
solutions for growing businesses.
The modified design also means that the new models can offer more than
seven different configurations made by Chenbro’s exclusive modular
parts, including HDD cages, fan cages, PCI-e riser cages, and rear
windows. This also helps to not only reduce production lead time and
lower re-investment costs on molds, but gain a greater balance of
costs, performance and capacity for both SME and enterprise data
centers.
Lower
Cost Maintenance
Easy maintenance is essential for IT operators. The updated open-bay
server chassis offers exactly that by providing users with a host of
simple and quick ways to maintain the chassis. Taking advantage of
Chenbro’s unique tool-less 2.5" and 3.5" HDD trays, IT operators can
save up to 80% of HDD installation time via two simple steps, that is:
“slide-in” and “push down” HDDs.
Offering built-in hot-swap fans, tool-less PCI-e riser cages, and
hot-swap CRPS, the new open-bay server chassis line provides worry-free
maintenance while reducing operational expenditure, easily and without
the added costs.
Support
for High Performance Applications
The fresh open-bay server chassis has been designed with
high-performance systems in mind. This means it is able to support all
kinds of demanding applications, including file sharing and storing,
backup and disaster recovery, and a whole host of other general
operations.
With a built-in 12Gb/s Mini-SAS HD backplane, the RM245 Series has the
ability to provide powerful disk I/O performance to help SMEs deal with
large-scale and complex workloads, daily. The series is also equipped
with three hot-swap fans and smart fan control on the backplane. These
work to create a precise balance of air intake and system performance.
These updated designs also fulfill the thermal requirements of the
latest Intel® Purley platform.
