D8 SAN storage NEC D8 Storage The D8 SAN Storage array brings an innovative architecture to the mid-range that provides tremendous flexibility, resiliency, and scalability. The family of D-Series arrays including D3, D3i, D4, and D8 models is used for iSCSI and Fibre Channel SANs for primary storage, high capacity secondary storage, or both in a tiered storage hierarchy. Hot-swappable disk ports, cache, and host ports modules The D8 has a “nodal” architecture that is built around controller nodes. Up to four nodes join to create one or more virtual arrays and provide resiliency that delivers non-stop performance despite the failure of a node (or even multiple nodes). As you add nodes the potential bandwidth, performance, and capacity also increase. Benefits Dependable Nodal and modular redundancy superior to traditional ‘active-active’ controller architecture Scalable Non-disruptive growth from 3 to 1,536 drives, from 4 GB cache to 128 GB, and from 8 FC ports to 64. Data-in-place conversion from the NEC D3 to a D8 Efficient Adjust cache, storage, and port scalability to meet changing needs The D8 splits up the functionality of a “traditional” array controller into separate modules that are hot-swappable and fully redundant within each node. While the Fibre Channel host connections and the connections to the disk enclosures are fully redundant, the data cache and power can survive even multiple failures! Besides having resiliency higher than traditional architectures, each node can expand online to include additional modules. As time goes by and application needs change, the array performance, bandwidth, and capacity can be adjusted for new purposes and new applications: Over 65,000 D8 system module configurations are supported, so the array can transform to meet changing needs instead of requiring the purchase and migration to a new array with different characteristics.
