Description
Dual Redundant Controllers
The MD3220 Dell PowerVault 2U SFF SAS Storage Array features a dual redundant controller design, which provides high availability and reliability for mission-critical applications.
The dual redundant controller design allows the storage array to continue operating in the event of a hardware or software failure. If one controller fails, the other controller takes over without interruption to the data flow, ensuring that data access is not impacted.
The dual redundant controllers also provide additional processing power, which can improve system performance and help to ensure that the storage array can handle data-intensive workloads.
Advanced Data Protection Features
The MD3220 Dell PowerVault 2U SFF SAS Storage Array features advanced data protection features that help to ensure the integrity and availability of data.
One of the key data protection features of the MD3220 is its support for multiple RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6, and 50. This provides users with a wide range of options for configuring their storage array to meet their specific needs for data protection and performance.
The MD3220 also features advanced data protection features such as snapshots and replication. Snapshots allow users to create point-in-time copies of data, which can be used for backup, recovery, or testing purposes. Replication allows users to create copies of data and store them in a remote location, providing an additional layer of protection against data loss.
In addition to these features, the MD3220 also includes support for self-encrypting drives, which provide hardware-based encryption of data to help protect against data theft or loss.
High-Speed Connectivity
The MD3220 Dell PowerVault 2U SFF SAS Storage Array provides high-speed connectivity for maximum performance and flexibility.
The storage array features support for both SAS and iSCSI connectivity, allowing users to choose the best connectivity option for their specific needs. SAS connectivity provides high-speed, low-latency connectivity for high-performance applications, while iSCSI provides flexibility and scalability for virtualized environments.
The MD3220 also features support for 6Gb/s SAS connectivity, which provides high-speed data transfer rates and helps to ensure optimal performance for demanding workloads.
In addition to these connectivity options, the MD3220 also features support for multipathing, which allows users to optimize their connectivity for both performance and redundancy.
