JBOD
Future of Storage Expansion: The most affordable with exceptional performance, scalability, green power and standard 4U form factor for more than 2PB capacity storage expansion solution.

JBOD Storage
What is JBOD? JBOD stands for just a bunch of disks. It is a type of multilevel configuration for hard disks in a computer system or array combined as one logical volume. JBOD is used by organizations that need an efficient on-premises storage method. It offers huge amounts of storage and can be configured depending on the user’s needs and can be easily scale simplify operation while optimizing costs.
Expand Your Enterprise with Industry-Leading Storage Density, as data storage capacity continues to expand. With the JBOD, it enables you to build on initial storage investments and efficiently scale into exabyte-class data centers.
Viking NDS4603 – 60 JBOD
Viking NDS4603 High Density Storage Enclosure enables 3.5” or 2.5” SAS/SATA hard disk drive (HDD) and solid-state disk (SSD) device connections in a mixed environment. Target device communication and management is enabled via standard serial attached SCSI (SAS3.0) protocol with enclosure services linked via SES firmware.
The enclosure can be configured as a JBOD or NAS.
