Block-only
Includes a 3U disk processor enclosure (DPE), a 1U 1.2 KW standby power supply (SPS), and 2U or 3U 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 2U Data Mover enclosure (DME) and 1U Control Station (CS) to the 3U DPE, 1U SPS, and 2U, 3U, or 4U DAEs to facilitate file services to CIFS/NFS clients.
Unified Block and File
Uses the 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:
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)
- Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax 4 (iSCSI protocol)
- Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
- Four-port 1-Gb/s copper iSCSI
- Four-port 8-Gb/s optical Fibre Channel (running at 2, 4, or 8-Gb/s)
Data Movers Enclosure (DME):
With the File or Unified configuration this VNX5700 can support 1, 2, or 4 Data Movers.
One module consists of one Intel Xeon 4-core 2.40-GHz processor. Six DDR3 synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) slots supporting 2, 4, or 8-GB SDRAM for up to 12 GB per CPU module. Each Data Mover has 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 7
- Four-port 1-Gb/s copper
- Two-port 1-Gb/s copper plus two-port 1-Gb/s optical
Control Station (CS):
If the VNX5700 is configured in the File or Unified configuration. Then you will need the Control Station. 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
- One DVD-ROM drive
- Four RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T network interface connectors
