SN-5484 initial deployments

The SN-5400 series are multi-terabyte iSCSI storage appliances running AppOS 4.0. The SN-5484 is a 2U storage appliance with four 64-bit processor cores, 8GB of memory and 4TB of storage space. The SN-5484 has quad 1000BaseT connections, and one management port. The SN-5484 supports SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) as well as SATA-II. The SN-5484 can be built for under US$3000.

The SN-5484 is an enterprise grade storage solution shipping with Linux 2.6.23.9. The solution features a custom in-house developed storage stack by Spliced Networks. The first SN-5484 will go into production at Spliced Networks corporate head quarters in Athens, Ohio. The SN-5484 at Spliced Networks replaces the first generation storage appliances, the SN-5015.

The SN-5484 and SN-5888 storage appliances are currently being phased in at several customer sites as replacements for aging NetApp F760 and F820 series filers. The SN-5400 and SN-5800 series appliances will be listed on the Open Appliances site when it goes live later this month.

The storage solution stack will be available upon the GA release of AppOS 4.0.
