Storage chassis Promise Technology VTrak D5800xD 4-port 10G SFP+ Dual controllers

The Promise Technology VTrak D5800xD 4-port 10G SFP+ Dual controllers is a rack-mount storage chassis designed for enterprise environments that require redundant controller architecture and multi-port 10G connectivity. The chassis expands usable capacity when connected to compatible VTrak arrays and supports high-throughput applications such as virtualization, backup, and shared file services. It combines dual-controller failover with four 10G SFP+ host ports to deliver continuous availability and accelerated data transfer between hosts and the storage system.

Advantages

This storage chassis offers redundant dual controllers for uninterrupted operation during controller maintenance or failure, and four 10G SFP+ ports for low-latency, high-bandwidth connections. The modular design enables integration with existing VTrak arrays to scale capacity and performance while maintaining centralized management. Enterprise-grade hardware and networking interfaces reduce bottlenecks for multi-host environments and provide predictable performance for demanding workloads.

Suitable for

• Virtualized server environments requiring low-latency shared storage
• Backup and archival systems that need high-throughput data ingest
• Media production and post-production workflows with large file transfers
• Consolidated file services and SMB/NFS shares for multiple clients
• Scaling existing VTrak storage arrays to increase capacity and performance

Key specifications

• Controller architecture: Dual redundant controllers with failover capability
• Host connectivity: Four 10G SFP+ ports for high-speed network attachment
• Form factor: Rack-mount chassis suitable for data center installations
• Compatibility: Designed to integrate with Promise VTrak storage arrays and compatible back-end enclosures
• Use cases: Optimized for shared block and file storage in enterprise scenarios

How to use

Install the chassis into a standard 19-inch equipment rack following the manufacturer's mounting instructions, connect redundant power sources where available, and attach fiber or copper SFP+ transceivers to the four 10G host ports. Integrate the chassis with existing VTrak arrays or attach appropriate drive enclosures, then configure controller roles, volumes, and host mappings through the management interface. Ensure firmware versions and network settings are consistent across the storage infrastructure for reliable operation.

Usage recommendations

Place the chassis in a temperature-controlled rack location with proper airflow, use redundant network paths and power supplies, and follow a regular firmware and backup policy. For best performance, use quality SFP+ transceivers and ensure host NICs and switches support 10G SFP+ links and negotiated settings.
