NEC: D3i SAN Storage Array

NEC: D3i SAN Storage Array:

The D3i array has many built-in features and supports NEC's enterprise-class storage software. A single D3 array can scale from just 219 GB to 144 TB capacity by adding up to eleven 2U 12-drive expansion enclosures.

Aggregate throughput of over 400 MB/s to hosts is provided through up to four 1 Gbps iSCSI Ethernet ports. These can be connected into a network or direct-connected as a simple and low-cost DAS configuration. (A Fibre Channel model is also available.) The disk enclosures are connected to the controllers via SAS wide-link connection for 24 Gbps bandwidth to each disk enclosure.

The system is fully redundant to protect against single-point-of-failure, with a battery backup unit for protecting the cache. Failed components are reported via alerts by either email or SNMP traps and in the management software.

Operating Systems are Windows Server® 2003 (x86, x64), Windows Server 2008 (x86, x64), Red Hat® Enterprise Linux and VMware.

This is a really solid solution with competitve pricing from NavigateStorage. Check it out then call Jim at 978-318-9000 or Email us.
