D3i SAN STORAGE NEC D3i Storage Superior Dependability The D3i storage array provides the best value in iSCSI SAN storage through a superior combination of dependability, scalability, and efficiency at a great price. D-Series arrays are used in iSCSI and Fibre Channel SANs for primary storage, high capacity secondary storage, or both in a tiered storage strategy. D-Series arrays are well-suited for virtualized environments, cloud storage, databases, data warehouses, disk-to-disk backup, and other block-level storage applications. • Self healing reduces HDD failures by 30-50% and decreases the number of RAID rebuilds by fixing hard drives before they fail • Catches silent data corruption of both SAS and SATA drives that is not detected by other systems • Background disk & cache scrubbing prevents applications from receiving corrupt data Wide Scalability • Expand RAID groups non-disruptively adding HDDs one-byone or many at a time to a maximum of 144 HDDs Architecture at a Glance • Grow LUNs online Base Unit/Disk Enclosure (front) High Efficiency Modular design — each module holds 12 HDDs • Power off RAID groups when not in use to save energy • Browser-based GUI allows remote management of up to 32 arrays in a ‘single pane of glass’ • Scale-up architecture saves you money as you grow when compared to a scale-out architecture. (In typical scale-out architectures, each node is more costly than a D3i disk enclosure: that means more costly growth.) • Dual-ported drives • SAS - SATA HDD intermix • Hot spare/swap HDDs Base Unit (rear) Dual power supplies A A A A 2U C D E B C D Dual disk adapter modules Disk Enclosure (rear) Dual power supplies A A A Price vs. Capacity E Price ($) B A 2U B B Dual disk adapter modules Raw Capacity (TB) A Dual fans per power supply B Dual SAS back-end ports (24 Gbps wide-link) C iSCSI front-end connectivity E ECC cache memory (mirrored, battery-backed) D Redundant management ports Scale Out (others) Scale Up (D3i) Specifications Hardware Model D3i Host Ports 2 or 4 iSCSI ports at 1 Gbps (2 per controller) Number of Controllers Single or dual controllers (active-active) Configuration 1 - 12 2U enclosures 12 disk drives per enclosure SAS – SATA intermix within an enclosure Cache Memory Capacity 2 or 4 GB (2 GB per controller) Battery Backup Time 24 hours Optional BBU Time 72 hours Supported RAID Level SAS 1, 10, TM (Triple Mirror), 3, 3DP (3 Double Parity), 5, 50, 6 SATA TM (Triple Mirror), 5, 6 Maximum Capacity SAS 86.4 TB SATA 288 TB SAS 300 GB, 450 GB, 600 GB rotating at 15,000 rpm SATA 1 TB, 2 TB rotating at 7,200 rpm Disk Drives Number of Disk Drives 3 – 144 Supported Operating Systems Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 and 2008 (x86, x64), Hyper-V, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, VMware® Base Unit/Enclosure Dimensions (WxDxH) 2U: 18.9” x 21.3” x 3.4” (480 x 540 x 86.5 mm) Weight Disk Array Controller 68.3 lbs.
