Dell PowerVault MD3200 SAS SAN Storage Arrays

The Dell PowerVault MD3200 is a 6Gb/s SAS Storage Area Network (SAN) array built for high availability and high-performance. The MD3200 is scalable and flexible with support for up to four host servers for HA, or up to eight hosts for non-HA deployment. For scale out requirements, the PowerVault MD3200 is easily expanded by adding PowerVault MD12x0 enclosures for additional capacity up to 192 drives. With support for both high performance SAS and high-capacity economical SATA drives, the MD3200 provides a solid foundation for tiered storage. The entire array subsystem is managed from a single, user-friendly software application which streamlines the management and maintenance of storage as it scales. With the PowerVault MD3200, storage can be quickly and easily added as needed without disruption to operations. Additionally, Dell PowerVault MD storage systems are certified for use in virtualized environments with each of the major virtualization players.
