Dell on Jan. 14 said that it has enhanced its front-line PowerVault storage portfolio with new 6G-bps SAS-connected arrays that are aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises and corporate branch offices.
The new PowerVaults are designed for users who want to expand their server-based storage networks or for those seeking an alternative to a more complex storage area network, Dell said.
“We’ve been talking about 6Gb and testing it for a long while,” Dell Senior Storage Manager Howard Shoobe told eWEEK. “As you know, Dell isn’t a believer in vaporware. So this is integrated, tested and differentiated. It goes end-to-end and is internal to our servers, as well as our JBOD [just a bunch of disks] solutions.”
Highlights of this launch, Shoobe said, include double I/O performance (3G to 6G bps) of current standard arrays, keeping pace with server technology; redundant path with automatic I/O load balancing; deployment flexibility; and high scalability. In addition, it is delivered as an integrated and tested solution.
Included in the release are three new PowerEdge RAID controllers-PERC H200, H700 internal and H800 external-and two PowerVault expansion enclosures-MD1200 and MD1220.
The 2U PowerVault MD1200 features bays for 12 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives; supports nearline (7.2K), 10K- and 15K-rpm hard drives and/or SAS solid-state disks; includes support for self-encrypting drives; and can be expanded to support up to eight enclosures (or 96 drives). It utilizes the PERC H800 controller.
The 2U PowerVault MD1220 array can hold 24 small-form factor (2.5-inch) drives; supports nearline (7.2K), 10K- and 15K-rpm HDD and/or SAS SSDs; expands to support up to eight enclosures (or 192 drives); and requires the PERC H800 controller.
The new storage arrays and controllers are available now. More information can be found here.
AI success depends on whether enterprise data is ready, reachable, and close enough to the workloads that need it.
