The EMC VNX5100 Disk Processor Enclosure (DPE) is an efficient and scalable storage platform tailored for businesses looking to expand their storage capabilities without complexity. With support for up to 75 drives across 3.5" and 2.5" SAS or Flash options, the VNX5100 provides a range of RAID configurations, including 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10. This system offers robust Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity and uses a modular 3U chassis, enabling expansion through additional Disk Array Enclosures (DAEs) such as 3U 15-bay or 2U 25-bay options. Its design includes a dual-storage processor setup backed by Intel Xeon 2-core 2.0GHz CPUs with DDR3 memory, providing reliable performance for mid-tier IT environments.


The VNX5100 supports both block and file storage protocols and offers upgrade flexibility with optional unified support through X-Blade Data Movers. It supports protocols including CIFS, NFS, iSCSI, FCoE, and FC. Write cache functionality is safeguarded by a standby power supply (SPS) module to protect data integrity during outages. With up to two SPS units for redundancy and high availability, the VNX5100 delivers enterprise-grade data protection in a compact form factor. This makes the EMC VNX5100 DPE a compelling solution for businesses in need of dependable, efficient, and expandable unified storage infrastructure.
