- Supports mixed use of SAS and FC or SAS and iSCSI interfaces to achieve cost-effective SAN tiering and integration
|
- DS3500 is also outstanding in IOPS and MB/s, and can support applications with a wide range of performance requirements.
- Ideal for consolidation and virtualization environments with different workloads and application requirements
- Designed for concurrent support of transactional applications and throughput-intensive applications
|
- With its simple, efficient, and flexible storage method, DS3500 has become a cost-effective and fully integrated supplement to System x, BladeCenter and Power Systems servers.
|
- Comprehensive protection for data at rest ensures data security throughout the life cycle of the drive without sacrificing performance or ease of use
|
- From small to large, grow on demand" provides flexibility to grow with customer data needs
- No need to purchase a large number of drives from the start
|
- Ability to mix high-performance SAS, Nearline SAS, and SED SAS drives to achieve tiered storage
- Cost-effectively support the organization''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s various data capacity requirements-from near-line to high-utilization applications-by supporting mixed drive types within a single storage system.
- Cabinet-based mixing maximizes efficiency
|
- Nearline SAS drives are also transparent replacement drives for SATA drives. Compared with SATA drives, near-line SAS drives are very competitive in price, and can achieve far better performance than SATA drives with higher reliability at a comparable price.
|
- Additional driver flexibility supports both high performance and high IOPs power ratio requirements
- A mix of tray-level drives can cost-effectively meet all application, rack, and energy efficiency requirements in a single storage system
|
- Achieve extremely high performance with fewer drives
- Lower drive investment and heat dissipation
|
- For applications that need to move large amounts of data with the highest throughput performance, maximize capacity utilization
|
- Ideal for very large databases or file systems, or systems that want to use more than 30 drives per volume to maximize performance
|
- Modular design provides affordable entry products by avoiding over-configuration, and provides seamless "buy on demand" scalability when demand changes
- Efficient utilization reduces raw capacity requirements and supports mixed drives to achieve tiered storage
- Excellent performance drive ratio achieves the highest performance through the fewest drives, which can create extraordinary performance value
|
- Full-time storage administrators have full control over their storage configuration, while part-time users get an intuitive and simple interface
- Centralized management of all local and networked DS5000, DS4000®And DS3500 storage system-a single management can improve management efficiency and shorten the learning curve
- Provides investment protection through enhanced remote mirroring via FC host interface
|
- Enhanced functions can expand capacity, volume capacity, segment capacity, volume group, and migrate RAID levels without interrupting data I/O
- Can easily adapt to changes in application, availability, or performance requirements without disrupting operations
- Can configure volumes, perform routine maintenance, and add new cabinets and capacities without interrupting data access
|
- Provide enough partitions to effectively support medium-scale consolidation or virtualization environments, thereby helping to reduce hardware and storage management costs
|
- Firmware upgrades can be performed while the dual-controller configuration continues to maintain continuous data accessibility
- Data available 24/7 to ensure organizational productivity and customer satisfaction
- Up to 64 per storage system and up to 8 FlashCopy per volume®Image can support granular backup and recovery
- Multiple options allow administrators to best meet replication needs
- Can use local or remote copy(Via FC interface)Perform file restoration, backup, application testing, data mining or disaster recovery
