RAID protecting against double failures, handling increasing data capacities HDD capacity is increasing so is the risk of data loss because a second HDD can fail while recovering a damaged HDD. M Series exploits NEC’s patented RAID triple mirror that achieves the high-speed performance of RAID-1 with the double parity reliability of RAID-6. M110 M310 M510 M710 M310F M710F NEC Storage M Series’ Ease of Operation Intuitive GUI allows even first-time users to easily manage the storage unit Storage capacity, disk load, and operational status of each component can be checked in a visual web browser window. Navigation windows show you how to set up replication, change capacity of a pool, and respond to failures. The easy-to-understand GUI environment eliminates operational errors. M110 M310 M510 M710 M310F M710F 5 Green technology with NEC Storage M Series Low-power operations by visualization of power consumption and autonomous device control environment can be managed with real-time visualizations. In addition, components such as CPU, fan and HDD autonomously control power consumption based on storage unit usage. Energy efficient operations when the storage unit is in the idle state. M110 M310 M510 M710 M310F Autonomous control I/O count are also promoted by reduction of unnecessary power consumption Reduce power consumption depending on usage Power consumption(kwh) The power consumption of all M Series units in the same infrastructure Visualization of power consumption Energy efficient operation by autonomous control M710F Saving power resources by the autonomous MAID technology M Series adopts MAID (Massive Array of Inactive Disks) technology for In use Copying In use Stopped Business volume Backup volume energy efficiency. HDD in a backup volume, for instance, is not used except for backup time. MAID technology can autonomously turn the motor of an HDD off (when idle) and on (when needed). M110 M310 M510 M710 M Series When MAID technology has been adopted Backup job Time ON Business volume Backup volume OFF ON OFF Reducing power consumption with advanced power saving technologies M Series employs low-power processors, 80 PLUS power supplies (80 PLUS PLATINUM for M510, M710, and M710F; 80PLUS GOLD for M110, M310, M310F, and Disk Enclosure). Power-saving components are an emphasis in the design of M Series. These characteristics allow M Series to be used in 40°C (104°F) environments which results in reducing power consumption of air conditioners. M110 M310 M510 M710 M310F M710F Data protection with NEC Storage M Series Advanced security such as data-at-rest encryption M Series uses a Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) to encrypt data. Furthermore, M Series features a variety of other security functions including access Application server Authentication key restrictions to the volumes, write-once-read-many definitions (WORM) and prevention of erroneous operations. M110 M310 M510 Data to be written to or read from the HDD is not encrypted. Since there is no overhead due to data encryption, performance does not degrade. Data recorded in an encryption HDD is encrypted. Read & write Register authentication key M710 M310F M710F NEC Storage Manager Authentication Prevents data from being accessed if the authentication key does not match. Encryption HDD Encryption HDD Encryption HDD Even if the HDD is removed without permission, the data in the HDD cannot be accessed without the correct authentication key. Since data in the HDD is encrypted, it is not possible to decrypt it.
