This
Storage is available with 3.5”, 2.5” or SSD hard drives in a 2U standard rack
enclosure. The 2U MD3 820f models are designed to hold 24 x 2.5” drives or 12 x
3.5” drives. Effectively consolidate storage to support the value of your
existing Fibre Channel environment with performance to meet both IOP-intensive,
high-bandwidth applications.
MD3820f storage arrays are also fully qualified for
use in virtualized application environments with VMware® ESX™ and Microsoft®
Hyper-V® software.
Up
to 64 servers in a SAN environment can be connected to a single MD3820 Fibre
Channel storage array. Storage capacity can be expanded up to a base of 120
hard drives1 on all models. If additional capacity is needed onPower Vault MD
3820f storage , scale by simply hot-plugging additional PowerVault MD1200 or
MD1220 expansion enclosures to grow capacity up to 192 hard drives.

The
reliability of this storage is enhanced with software features that provide
added data protection, improved virtualization,
and ease of management.
Dynamic
Disk Pools (DDP) simplify data management and improve storage efficiencies with
self-healing dynamic disk rebalancing, without the worries of traditional RAID
configurations.
With
just a few clicks the user can add or delete disks from DDP to increase or
decrease the size of the pools as
needed. DDP supports up to 20 disk pools and can support up to 120 SSDs with up
to 1024TB of storage.
Other
software feature enhancements include thin provisioning, vCenter Plug-in,
enabling VASA and SRA, which are all standard features on the MD3820 Fibre
Channel models.
The high-density models have standard features
to ensure high performance for either general-purpose computing or applications
with high-bandwidth requirements, including HPT and SSD cache.
