SGI's OmniStor products provide flexible, reliable and cost-effective external storage expansion for a wide range of performance and capacity-oriented storage environments. Based on SGI's Build-to-Order flexibility, OmniStor perfectly serves data center deployments requiring host storage expansion, disk backup and archiving, content streaming and database storage.

Storage densities are exceptional with up to twelve 3.5" or twenty-four 2.5" drives per U of effective rack space when mounted back-to-back. With up to twenty-four 2.5" drives per system, OmniStor is equally well suited for high performance configurations, especially when using Solid State Drives (SSDs). OmniStore provides compelling price/performance ($ per IOP) capabilities with flexible capacity pricing at under $1,000 per TB when using SAS or SATA II hot-swap disk drives.
