Massive, High-Speed Storage for Professional Workflows
When your data-intensive projects demand uncompromising performance and colossal capacity, the OWC Jupiter Kore is the definitive storage expansion solution. Designed for enterprise-level reliability, Kore empowers creative professionals, IT administrators, and data centers to effortlessly scale their storage infrastructure. Whether you're working with high-resolution video, managing vast data archives, or expanding your network server, Kore provides the speed, space, and stability you need to stay ahead of demand and eliminate bottlenecks from your workflow.
At the heart of the Jupiter Kore is its blazing-fast 12Gb/s Mini-SAS HD architecture. A single cable connection delivers an incredible 48Gb/s of throughput, and by utilizing dual cables, you can achieve a staggering 96Gb/s. This immense bandwidth is a game-changer for post-production houses and design studios, enabling smoother 4K/8K video ingest, more simultaneous editing streams, and dramatically reduced data transfer times. Spend less time waiting and more time creating.
The Kore isn't just fast; it's immensely scalable. This 3U rackmount unit houses 16 drive bays, offering up to 320TB of raw capacity in a single chassis. As your storage needs grow, the built-in Mini-SAS expander allows you to seamlessly daisy-chain up to six additional Kore systems. This creates a unified storage pool of up to seven units, providing a breathtaking 2.5PB of capacity, all managed from a single host server. Start with what you need today and expand confidently tomorrow.
Built for 24/7 operation, the Jupiter Kore is engineered to eliminate downtime. It features fully redundant, load-balancing, and hot-swappable power supplies to ensure continuous uptime, even in the event of a PSU failure. Drives and cooling fans are also hot-swappable, allowing for on-the-fly replacement and maintenance without ever taking the system offline. When connected to a host with a Mini-SAS RAID controller, Kore becomes a formidable, high-performance protected storage array, making it the perfect direct-attached storage (DAS) or expansion for NAS systems like the OWC Jupiter Callisto.
