M Series Disk Array
Improving the operating efficiency of a server virtualization environment by integrating with a VMware environment
Innovate virtualization with NEC Storage M Series
M Series supports VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI), a storage API provided by VMware, Inc. By incorporating this API, operations
that were processed on a server in the past can be processed on the M Series product itself. These operations include the replication and migration of
Assuring business performance through automatic
optimization based on SLA*
In a server virtualization environment, a single task placing a high load on the server can prevent other tasks from obtaining sufficient
resources, leading to degraded server performance. To assure stable performance, NEC Storage M series sets upper and lower limits to
each logical disk to control the amount of I/O. Setting a small value as the upper limit of a task whose priority is low allows resources to

RAID protects against double failures, handling increasing data capacities
The HDD capacity is becoming larger as business information rapidly increases. There is also a risk of data loss because the second HDD can fail while
recovering a damaged HDD. M Series supports the NEC original RAID triple mirror feature that achieves the high-speed performance of RAID-1 and the
reliability of RAID-6 in addition to the double parity configuration of RAID-6, responding to demands for both large capacities and high reliability. M

Reducing power consumption with advanced power saving technology
To offer top-class eco-friendly storage units, NEC has developed M Series by applying advanced energy saving technology
so that its power consumption is significantly less than previous models. It promotes power saving of the entire storage unit
by incorporating a low-power processor as its CPU and enabling autonomous control.
For the power supply, M Series employs the 80PLUS PLATINUM (for M510 and M710)* or 80PLUS GOLD (for M110 and
M310) certified high-efficiency power supplies. In addition, M Series incorporates as many power saving components as
possible, and achieves a significant reduction in the total number of components. M Series can be used in 40°C(104°F)
environments, reducing the power consumed by air conditioning.
*The disk enclosures employ 80 PLUS GOLD certified power supplies.

*1: The M110 supports a dual controller model and a single controller model. The single controller model supports 4 ports and an 8 GB cache memory.
*2: Since RAID-0 does not have redundancy, data is lost if an error occurs in a drive. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to use a RAID level having redundancy. If you want to use RAID-0, please contact NEC first. The RAID levels available for an SSD are
RAID-1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. *3: Calculated with 1 GB = 1,0243 bytes and 1 TB = 1,0244 bytes. *4: The number indicates the maximum capacity when RAID-5 is configured by using the maximum-size drive of each drive type.
*5: Up to 12 SSDs can be installed in M110. *6: There are restrictions on disk devices to be connected for the described operating systems. For details, please contact NEC. *7: The front bezel is sold separately.
*8: For M110 and M310, the power consumption value is when an iSCSI host interface is used. For M510 and M710, the power consumption value is when an FC host interface is used. The power consumption may differ for other configurations.
*9: Host ports and drives are added exclusively, so this number indicates the maximum number of host ports and drives, respectively.
