The Dell™ PowerVault™ MD3200/MD3220 series of storage arrays is a high-performance 6Gb shared storage solution providing high availability data access. As the next generation of our directly connected shared Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) arrays, this series offers exceptional flexibility and scalability and is ideal for consolidating up to four servers in clustered or virtualized environments. The PowerVault MD3200 array is well-suited for deployments where cost per GB is a key requirement. The PowerVault MD3220 array is an optimal solution when cost/performance (IOPS) is a primary consideration
Connecting the MD3200 and MD3220 to servers requires the use of the 6Gb SAS HBA. The SAS 5/E HBA will not work with the MD3200 series of arrays.
Below are general configuration rules for MD3200 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 MD3200 or 24 drives for a MD3220)
- MD1200 and/or MD1220 storage enclosures can be add to a MD3200 or MD3220 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.
The Dell PowerVault MD3200 series of arrays raises the bar for scalability and flexibility in the entry-level storage space. You can connect up to four high-availability servers or eight non-redundant servers for balanced performance in mixed virtualized workloads. MD3200 series arrays are ideal for Microsoft® Hyper-V™ and VMware® ESX virtual environments.
