Pillar Axiom Hardware Overview

Pillar Axiom System Components

The Pillar Axiom system provides SAN and NAS connectivity to a common pool of storage. The system is modular. The three major system components are:

•   ::  Pilot management controller
•   ::  Slammer storage controllers
•   ::  Brick storage enclosures Slammers and Bricks communicate using a highly redundant Storage System Fabric (SSF).

Slammers and Bricks have:

•   ::  Redundant power supplies and fans
•   ::  Front and back LEDs that provide system and component identification and status
•   ::  Built-in RAS: reliability, availability, and serviceability
•   ::  Field replaceable units (FRUs)

The system components fit into a Pillar-supplied rack or a standard D?class 4?post 19?inch rack. Larger configurations require multiple adjacent racks. The Pillar Axiom system continually monitors all hardware components for proper operation and fault status.
