Virtualization

The EMC VNX7500 Disk Processor Enclosure (DPE) is a robust enterprise storage solution designed for high-performance applications across corporate IT, database management, virtualization, and analytics environments. With support for up to 1,000 drives using various DAEs—including 2U, 3U, and 4U enclosures—the VNX7500 delivers remarkable scalability. It supports SAS, NL-SAS, and Flash drives with multiple RAID configurations (0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10), ensuring reliability and data protection. The VNX7500 supports both block-level protocols (FC, iSCSI, FCoE) and file-based services (NFS, CIFS, MPFS), making it ideal for unified deployments. Each configuration can include 1–2 Data Movers with Intel Xeon processors, and up to two Control Stations.

The VNX7500 system's modular design allows for flexible configuration as block-only, file-only, or unified. The storage processors and Data Movers support five Gen 2 PCIe slots, offering options like Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FCoE, and SAS I/O modules. Its intelligent power design includes either 1U or 2U standby power supplies with redundancy support for safe write caching. When paired with supported DAEs and Control Stations, the EMC VNX7500 becomes a reliable, scalable solution capable of meeting the rigorous demands of data-driven enterprises.

Block-only

Includes a storage processor enclosure (SPE), a 1U 1.2 KW or a 2U 2.2 KW standby power supply (SPS), and disk-array enclosures (DAEs) for holding hard disk drives that are integrated to facilitate Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and iSCSI Block services to Windows and UNIX hosts.

File-only

Adds the Data Mover enclosure (DME) and Control Station (CS) to SPE, SPS, and DAEs to facilitate File services to CIFS/NFS clients.

Unified Block and File

Uses same hardware as the File-only configuration but adds FC, iSCSI, and FCoE I/O connectivity to provide Block services to host simultaneously so as to provide File services to clients.

Storage Processor I/O Supported:The 6-Gb/s SAS I/O module is always located in slot 0 of SP A and SP B.

Five PCI Gen 2 x4 I/O module slots supporting a combination of the following five UltraFlex ™ I/O modules:

Four-port 6-Gb/s SAS (slot 0 only)
Four-port 8-Gb/s optical Fibre Channel (running at 2, 4, or 8-Gb/s)
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax 3 (iSCSI protocol)
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax 6 Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
Four-port 1-Gb/s copper iSCSI

Data Movers Enclosure (DME):

Each Data Mover consists of a CPU module with an Intel Xeon 4-core 2.8-GHz processor with six Double Data Rate Three (DDR3) synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) slots supporting 2-, 4-, and 8-GB SDRAM

Five PCI Gen 2 x4 I/O module slots supporting a combination of the following four UltraFlex I/O modules:

Four-port 8-Gb/s optical (running at 2, 4, or 8 Gb/s); in slot 0
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax 6
Four-port 1-Gb/s copper
Two-port 1-Gb/s copper plus two-port 1 Gb/s optical

Any combination of these I/O modules is supported and must be the same for each Data Mover installed in the same VNX7500.

Control Station (CS):

One to two Control Stations. Each Control Station consists of the following features:

Intel 2.0 GHz single-core Celeron processor
2 GB of RAM
One 250-GB SATA hard drive
Two rear-mounted USB ports and one front-mounted USB port
Four RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T network interface connectors(located on the rear panel)
Two integrated serial ports, one for laptop/console redirection and one for the CallHome modem
One DVD-ROM drive

Standby Power Supply (SPS)

Both the 1U and 2U SPS perform the same functions.

An additional SPS can be added for redundancy. Two SPSs provide higher availability and allow write caching, which prevents data loss during a power failure, to continue. A faulted or not fully charged SPS disables the write caching

Use a dual 2U SPS when a 4U DAE with Flash drives is used in a Vault drive configuration. Otherwise, the dual 1U SPS is used with the 2U or 3U DAE as the Vault drive.
