1 Introduction
Quantum QXS storage enclosures combine strong performance with high reliability, flexibility, and
manageability. Powerful and compact, the LX2 series expandable storage solution supports business with
high-capacity and high-availability options.
The system is designed for high availability (HA), with no single point of failure for data or power. Controller
modules (CMs) are Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) v2.1 compatible for interconnects, power budgets and rails,
form factors, and footprints.
All Quantum storage enclosures contain one or more CMs, which each contain a Hewitt Lake processor, 16GB
of cache, and a custom RAID acceleration ASIC.
