D-Link 12-Bay Rackmount Expansion Enclosure - Diskless, 2U
Rackmount
D-Links DSN-6000 Series iSCSI SAN array is a fully redundant, data
centre-class network storage solution in a 2U rackmount form factor. The
DSN-6000 Series currently supports 36TB of raw capacity using 3TB drives (and
even greater capacity as larger disk drives become available), and overall
scalability to 180TB using DSN-6020 Expansion Enclosures. D-Links DSN-6000
Series provides 1GbE or 10GbE host interface connectivity which can handle over
220,000 I/O per second. The DSN-6000 Series integrates xStack storage
architecture and supports services for applications demanding high throughput,
scalability and flexible storage planning. The DSN-6000 Series can be easily
implemented as primary storage, as secondary storage to supplement an existing
infrastructure, or as a nearline storage device to improve backup and recovery
times. Using the intuitive and integrated management GUI, the DSN-6000 Series
Arrays can be seamlessly incorporated in both Physical and Virtual Server
environments.
Expansion Options
The capacity of the DSN-6000 Series storage arrays can be easily expanded
with the addition of the DSN-6020 Expansion Enclosure, which supports up to 12
SAS and SATA hard drives. Up to 4 DSN-6020 enclosures can be mounted in a
storage array to expand the overall capacity to 60 drive bays, with up to 180TB,
and even higher capacity as larger hard drives are introduced.
High Availability
The DSN-6000 Series can provide the failover and redundancy capabilities
required for mission critical scenarios such as Virtual Machine (VM) shares,
database hosting, Online Transactional Processing (OLTP), email applications,
storage consolidation and other primary storage needs. It is equipped with fully
redundant components for all major functions, such as RAID controllers, power
supplies, fan modules, battery backup modules, and SAS JBOD expansion ports. The
Hot-pluggable design is capable of providing uninterrupted services. In
addition, the DSN-6000 Series incorporates advanced high availability features
such as RAID 6 and RAID 60 support, writable snapshot, Microsoft Windows VSS
support, and volume configuration restoration. These advanced features help to
reduce or eliminate any system downtime. Unlike other vendors, D-Links DSN-6000
Series is able to upgrade to firmware without the system going offline. Both
firmware image and volume handling are well protected by the redundant RAID
controllers (in Dual Controller configuration); when one RAID controller is down
or has lost connection, the other RAID controller takes over its tasks
immediately. This feature ensures that volumes and services are transferred
seamlessly and simultaneously.
Applications
The optimised Input/Output Operations per second and unparalleled throughput
are capable of providing run-time critical online services, such as Cloud
storage, SQL, Exchange, and high-end surveillance storage. Furthermore, with its
iSCSI interface, D-Links DSN-6000 Series is ideal for virtualisation
environments - VMWare, Hyper-V, and Citrix. System administrators can install up
to 32 Operating Systems onto the iSCSI system through the Boot-from-SAN
functionality. With this feature, the multiple Operating Systems/Servers can be
easily managed and protected by D-Link advanced data protection features,
avoiding system downtime caused by single points of failure.
Green Energy Savings
The DSN-6000 Series is equipped with D-Link Green features for saving power.
A hard drive can be a very power-hungry component in a SAN. When properly
configured, the power consumption of hard drives can be reduced to a minimum
using the auto disk spin down feature. The DSN- 6000 Series systems monitor
environmental temperatures to optimise the cooling mechanism. The fan modules
respond only when needed. The power supply modules are all 80 PLUS power
efficient, providing a more favourable power conversion rate. When combined,
these power saving features help to greatly reduce energy consumption and
increase the products lifespan.
