Dell iSCSI SAN Storage
File-Level Storage Over Your Network

Dell iSCSI SAN Storage Internet SCSI (iSCSI) SAN — One or more disk storage arrays connected via 1/10Gb Ethernet switches to servers using the TCP/IP-based iSCSI standard protocol.

The Dell PowerVault™ MD makes that choice obsolete with a family that can enable efficient storage management and ensure high availability. The Dell PowerVault MD family offers a range of options to fit your needs functionality and budget needs: the MD3200i SAN array for iSCSI storage consolidation, the MD3200 disk storage array for highly available Direct-Attached Storage (DAS), the MD1120 expansion enclosure for high-performance applications, and the PowerVault MD1000 expansion enclosure for high-capacity applications.

The PowerVault MD family features a suite of intuitive, intelligent storage management software applications. Dell OpenManage™ Storage Management for MD1000 and MD1120 provides a comprehensive set of standards-based tools to optimize deployment, monitoring, fault recovery and change management. The Modular Disk Storage Manager for the MD3200 and MD3200i combines an intuitive interface and a task-based management structure to reduce complexity.
