PowerVault MD3 Serial Attached SCSI Storage Series MD3400
Technology that delivers high performance and high capacity storage
Consolidate your storage with the new PowerVault MD3 12 Gb Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) array. The 12 Gb MD3 SAS array family is ideal
for entry-level storage consolidation that requires high
availability, high performance, business continuity, ease of use
and reliability. Designed for increased versatility, the MD3 series
supports multiple drive types, advanced software features, and
optional 2U or high-density 4U chassis.
Powervault MD32x0 Series - Get affordable enterprise-class features
Get affordable, enterprise-class features
The PowerVault MD3 SAS array has the following features:
Higher performance: With the new 12 Gb SAS Array 10, performance is
up to 2x.
Controller options: Total throughput up to 16 GB11.
Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP): Improved DDP capability to support 20 disk
pools and up to 120 SSDs.
Thin provisioning: Allocate and consume physical storage capacity
in a disk pool as needed.
SSD Cache: Improves application execution speed by caching
previously read data (provided only with high-performance tiering).
vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) support: Integrate array
commands with VMware in a host environment.
Try it first: Use the 90-day trial software license for your
specific software to determine which advanced features are right
for your environment.
PowerVault MD3 Array Series - Protect your data
Protect your data
Take advantage of these additional PowerVault options to keep your
important information safe:
Remote Copy: Copy data to any location, including mirrored thin
provisioned pools.
Snapshots: With point-in-time copies of your data, you can easily
recover files that were accidentally deleted or changed.
Virtual Disk Backup (VDC): Fast, seamless virtual disk migration
and disk-based backup and recovery by fully replicating source
data.
Self-Encrypting Drive (SED): With drive-level encryption,
unauthorized users cannot use the data even if the drive has been
removed from the enclosure.
Instant Secure Erase: Permanently and securely delete data when
changing the purpose of the SED or phasing out the SED.
Reduce the time it takes to manage your data
The PowerVault MD3 SAS Series delivers affordable primary storage, allowing you to add capacity and software as needed. This design connects your storage directly to your data infrastructure. It is compatible with Microsoft® Hyper-V®, Citrix® XenServer®, and VMware® ESX. In addition, the MD Series storage arrays also support vSphere® Storage APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA).
Simplify physical and virtual resource management with MD Storage
Manager and PowerVault VMware vCenterTM Plug-in 5.0.
MD Storage Manager VMware vCenter Plug-In 5.0
MD Storage Manager
With wizard-based array configuration and single-platform
management, MD Storage Manager alerts you to problems and launches
its Recovery Guru to troubleshoot and resolve problems
automatically.
VMware vCenter Plug-In 5.0
Monitor, manage, configure, and optimize storage to improve
performance and availability in your virtual infrastructure. You
can also implement the Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) to
simplify disaster recovery management with a centralized recovery
plan and VASA to create profiles that map to volumes and virtual
machines.
Upgrade with the Advanced Feature Key Pack to meet your priorities.
Data protection
Data protection:
Make sure your data is protected with snapshots, VDCs, and remote
replication.
high performance
high performance:
Data is constantly growing at an alarming rate, but performance
should not be affected as a result. This package includes a high
performance layer, a solid state drive cache, and an additional
hard drive capacity license.
Speed up recovery with dynamic disk pooling.
Dynamic disk pools protect data by dynamically distributing data inside the drive pool. In the event of a drive failure, DDP will determine critical data and dynamically rebalance the data so that the array can be restored to a better state faster than in a typical RAID environment. DDP can now support up to 20 disk pools and up to 120 SSDs.
