Details
The DS5000 storage systems are equally adept at supporting transactional applications such as databases and On Line Transaction Processing (OLTP), throughput-intensive applications such as high-performance computing (HPC) and rich media, and concurrent workloads for consolidation and virtualization. With relentless performance and superior reliability and availability, DS5000 series storage systems can support the most demanding service level agreements (SLAs) for the most common operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, UNIX, Linux and Apple Macintosh. When requirements change, you can add or replace host interfaces, grow capacity, add cache and reconfigure the system on the fly—ensuring that it will keep pace with your growing company.
This multidimensional scalability allows the DS5000 series storage system to extend beyond the normal three- to four-year life cycle, protecting your storage investment by delaying, or even eliminating, the expense of migrating data to a new system and allowing you to amortize acquisition costs over extended periods of time. This life cycle longevity enables DS5000 storage systems to continue delivering value long after other systems have been retired. With drive-level encryption, DS5000 series storage systems support affordable data security with no performance penalty. The DS5000 storage system’s multiple replication options, drive level encryption, and persistent cache backup can help ensure that any data in cache is captured and safe in the event of a power outage.
Highlights
- Provides balanced performance—up to 700,000 IOPs and 6400 MB/s—is well-suited for virtualization and consolidation
- Scales up to 448 drives (1.34 PB) using the EXP5000 enclosure and up to 480 drives(1.44 PB) of high-density storage with the EXP5060 enclosure
- Allows for intermixing drive types—Fibre Channel, SAS, SAS NL, SED, SATA and SSD—and host interfaces—Fibre Channel and iSCSI—for investment protection and cost-effective tiered storage
- Supports high availability with hot-swappable components and non-disruptive firmware upgrades
