The PowerVault™ MD3200i/MD3220i series is a next generation iSCSI SAN solution that is ideal for entry-level storage consolidation in virtualized environments that require high availability. PowerVault MD3220i arrays are designed for environments that need higher capacity solutions while PowerVault MD3220i arrays are ideal for deployments that require increased density and higher performance. It is important to note that the older 3Gb SAS JBODS (MD1000 and MD1120) cannot be used as expansion enclosures on the MD3200i or the MD3220i.
General configuration rules for MD3200i series of arrays.
- Up to 8 direct attached servers with single I/O paths to a dual controller storage array
- Up to 4 direct attached servers with redundant I/O paths to a dual controller storage array
- Up to 32 physical hosts can be supported on a single storage system (includes both single and dual controller models)
- Up to 120 total drives consisting of SSD, SAS and/or near-line SAS drives per storage system
- SSD drives are limited to a single shelf (12 drives for a MD3200i or 24 drives for a MD3220i)
- MD1200 and/or MD1220 storage enclosures can be add to a MD3200i or MD3220i storage array for expansion up to 120 total hard drives
- Up to 30 hard disk drives per disk group in a RAID 5 & RAID 6
- Up to 120 hard disk drives per disk group in a RAID1/10
- RAID level configurations 0, 1, 5, 10 or 6.
- Disk groups with different RAID levels can coexist in a single storage system.
- Disk groups are comprised of either SSD or SAS drives. A given disk group cannot have both SSD and SAS drives.
- Up to 256 virtual disks (LUNs) per storage array
- Each virtual disk can support 8 snapshots, with a maximum of 128 snapshots per storage array.
Implement your network storage solution for less with MD3220i series arrays using cost-effective, well-understood 1Gb Ethernet technology. Along with significant savings in hardware, IP SANs can also lower training costs. Ethernet is a familiar technology, so there’s usually no learning curve. Now you can effectively consolidate storage to support the value of your virtual environment. MD3220i storage arrays are fully qualified for use in virtualized application environments with VMware® ESX and Microsoft® Hyper-V™ software.
Mix and Match Drives:
MD3220i arrays hold up to twenty-four (24) 2.5-inch drives. Both the MD1200 enclosure (twelve 3.5” hard drives) and the MD1220 enclosure (twenty-four 2.5” drives) can be added behind MD3220i series arrays, enabling you to mix 3.5” and 2.5” drives in the same array. This flexibility enables data tiering to optimize system performance.
Consolidation = efficiency
Reduce the effort required to store and manage your data. MD3220i series arrays can support up to 32 physical servers when connected to one or more 1Gb Ethernet switches. Storage capacity, up to a base of 120 hard disk drives, can be expanded by attaching a PowerVault MD1200 and/or MD1220 expansion enclosure.
Deployment scalability and flexibility
Scale up. Mix and match drive types to create your optimum tiered data environment. Scale Easily: Up to 32 servers can be connected to a single MD3220i storage system. Storage capacity can be expanded up to a total of 120 hard drives. Scaling capacity is as simple as plugging in additional PowerVault MD1200 and/or PowerVault MD1220 enclosures.
