RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. General Micro Systems (GMS) announced the launch of the rugged X9 Spider storage system intended for military-focused sensor data recorders, artificial intelligence (AI) data sets, networked storage, and data payload “sneaker net” portable data movement.

 

According to information from GMS, the new storage system is a key part of the company's X9 Spider Thunderbolt 4 technology-based open distributed computing architecture (DCA). The small-form-factor system -- which has up to 128 TB (max) removable storage capacity -- includes a 4- or 8-drive removable cartridge supporting secure, industry-standard 2.5-inch or M.2 solid-state storage. The storage system uses CSfC or FIPS-140-2 secure encrypted SSDs and handles up to 80 Gbits/sec of data I/O streaming.

 

The storage module has dual Thunderbolt 4 ports; Thunderbolt 4 is an industry-standard 40 Gbits/sec data “pipe” interface jointly designed by Apple Computer and Intel, that can carry multiple video streams, PCI Express data, 10 Gbits/sec networking, USB, and up to 100 W of power. GMS says that in the X9 storage setup, one Thunderbolt input port can be used for data read/write while the other can be used for daisy-chaining additional downstream X9 products (including one or more additional X9 storage systems). Such a configuration, says GMS, can expand a systems storage “array” of sorts into many removable canisters, provide for fault tolerance and redundancy, or enable larger RAID arrays.
