I am entertaining offers as well as partial trade/cash. This auction is for BOTH perfectly working and licensed units along with a number of storage chassis. Every one of these machines being sold by a junk dealer, surplus dealer or liquidation dealer on eBay or elsewhere knows a little secret about the machine; it's useless, it's garbage, there is no licensing and often, not even software installed. Hence the rock bottom auction price since there's a 50/50 chance the seller will have to refund, then finally junk. I make a point of this because these machines are 100% working and in perfect working order with licensing. Links; Topping 50,000 Operations per second Server Specs Simply search BlueArc TItan SiliconServer on major search engines and you'll find that this is the very fastest, the very best, the most reliable filer hardware money can buy. Even Hitachi is OEM'ing this hardware and many large, well known companies swear by it to get the job done. Marketing excerpt; "The Titan SiliconServer offers enterprise-class management tools, including data migration, replication, and antivirus support. Titan enables very large numbers of users/servers to be served concurrently, while maintaining dramatically higher data access rates than those found in traditional storage systems." Using the right hardware will ensure that you can offer highly available services with the reliability that is required to maintain user momentum. Did you know some companies offer grid computing services to the public off of just one of these machines? Did you know that just ONE of these machines can handle a VERY large number of servers and users simultaneously connected to it, while still putting very little load on it or slowing it down. Think in terms of thousands of simultaneous connections! Check out the stats on these machines, they are simply unreal. If you want truly professional quality, here is is. This is the BEST of the best in filers. BlueArc's TITAN series of filers are known industry wide as the ones to beat, to be the very best, top of the line, most flexible, grow with you, long term filers. The TITAN handles a variety of storage enclosures including SATA and Fibre Channel. You can attach a number of chassis to the TITAN, using a multi-tiered approach for the various types of data delivery being used in your application. You'll also gain huge control over how you want to disperse your storage as well. You have the option of using the command line (CLI) interface or simply fire up a browser and you're set to go. The machines I am selling have FTP, CIFS and NFS licensing installed and each handle 256TB each of storage control. If you have wanted the best and have not been able to afford it, this is your opportunity to pick one up at a fraction of the new price (or trade). They are in perfect condition minus very minor rack blemishes which obviously will not affect using it. I'm sure you'll end up putting your own scratches on them, as we all seem to do with rack mounted hardware. The configuration is as follows; NIM 1040 Has Quad 10/100 management NICs, 2 serial ports and Quad SFP Ethernet FSA 2010-0 FSB 3011-1 SIM 4041-1 Has Quad FC SFP ports, 1GB/2GB (4GB?) configurable. Fully tested and supported (sanctioned) storage enclosures include; Enclosures Supported; FC-14H: RAID Enclosure FC-14C: RAID Enclosure, 14 FC drives FC-14E: Expansion Enclosure, 14 FC drives SA-14H: RAID Enclosure SA-14C: RAID Enclosure, 14 SATA drives SA-14E: Expansion Enclosure, 14 SATA drives The machines come with several LSI/Enginio chassis. Three are 1GB without drive sleds, one is a 2GB, SATA with all drive sleds, no drives, and one is a 2GB, FC with 14 x 146GB drives installed. The units handle a number of storage chassis, I can send you the list. You'll have to do some research and I don't know what else it will work with. The machines are ready to go on your network and take over. I have a manual for the 2000 series which is similar and they also has on-board help which I can send a copy of to the purchaser. You WILL have to take a little time to learn this hardware or of course, purchase support from BlueArc and have them help you. The machines are being sold USED, AS IS because I am not a dealer, I am only an end user. We bought them for a project, installed and tested the heads but never used them and no longer need them. I am more than willing to give you any information I can, including console access if you are serious about purchasing, to ensure that everything is as stated. My feedback shows you that I have always been a very honest seller, that has not changed today. If you are interested, please contact me with your questions and I will be happy to reply. Note that the machine will be very well boxed, in very heavy cardboard, foam, etc. I will not take chances shipping this. Shipping will be on your account and I don't charge extra for anything. The main units could be shipped in boxes and the others on a pallet perhaps, we can talk about that later. I will only accept a bank transfer or a money order which can be verified and shipping will ONLY be once my bank clears the funds. I am NOT very motivated to sell to anyone outside of North America to be honest but will consider all potential purchasers so long as you are willing to go the distance to make things right. Thanks for looking. Place a Bid!
