PowerVault MD3200i/MD3220i

Superior performance and flexibility with an intuitive management interface

Next-generation Ethernet-based array designed for exceptional performance and flexibility for storage consolidation, with system scalability for unexpected business demands, optional data protection features for added security and optional turbo mode for enhanced performance.
Increased cache size of 2GB per controller for large database applications Supports SSDs for the most demanding I/O applications Optional snapshots, virtual disk copy (VDC) and self-encrypting drives with Secure Erase

Important Features:
Efficiency
Reduce the effort required to store and manage your data. The MD3200i/MD3220i arrays raise the bar for performance, flexibility and scalability.

• Support up to 32 physical servers when connected to one or more 1Gb Ethernet switches.
• Scales up to 96 HDD storage capacity with PowerVault MD1200 and/or MD1220 enclosures.
• Cut management complexity with a single management interface and a single system to back up.

System management is easy
The MD3200i/MD3220i arrays are managed by next-generation MD Storage Manager software, an intuitive, easy-to-use client-based Java application.

• Two different management paths offer easy user interaction, even for those with only a basic familiarity of storage systems.
• The enterprise window feature monitors multiple systems through a single interface.
• Wizard-based array management helps simplify the configuration process.

Snapshots
Each virtual disk supports up to eight snapshots, with a total of 128 snapshots per system. These are typically used when data needs to be “frozen” in time.
Virtual disk copy
Virtual disk copy is full replication of an existing virtual disk at any point in time, often used for decision support and application development testing.
Self-encrypting drives
With SEDs, if a drive is removed from the array or powered down, the data on that drive is encrypted and useless to anyone who attempts to access it without the appropriate security authorization.
High Performance Tier (HPT)
Meet the most demanding performance requirements for your organization to remain productive and competitive.
