DSN-1100-10

iSCSI SAN Array

xStack Storage® 4x1GbE iSCSI SAN Array with 5 SATA Bays

Introduction

D-Link’s DSN-1100-10 iSCSI SAN array is an entry-level

network storage solution in a compact, desktop

form factor, ideal for small businesses. The heart

of the DSN-1100-10 is a powerful 10Gbit iSCSI

System-on-a-Chip (SoC) capable of handling

over 80,000 I/Os per second. The DSN-1100-10

supports 10TB of raw capacity using 2TB drives.

The DSN-1100-10 can be easily implemented as a

supplemental backup platform for quick restores,

as secondary online storage, or as bandwidth

demanding primary storage for security surveillance

and A/V applications.

iSCSI for IP Networks

Storage Area Networks (SANs) have traditionally

been reserved for complex Fibre Channel networks.

The recent introduction of iSCSI has extended the

powerful centralized storage capabilities of SAN

technology to IP networks. By utilizing existing

Ethernet technology, the costs associated with Fibre

Channel switching, separate host bus adapters,

expensive storage subsystems and administration

is significantly reduced. iSCSI SANs leverage the

Ethernet infrastructure and standards that are

already familiar to most IT personnel.

Four 1GbE Interfaces

The DSN-1100-10 supports Multi-path I/O (MPIO),

Multiple Connections per Session (MCS), and Link

Aggregation Groups (LAG) for unmatched network

flexibility, performance and resiliency, allowing its

four 1GbE data ports to be grouped together for up

to 425MB/s bandwidth.

System-on-a-Chip (SoC) Implementation

By utilizing a SoC design, the DSN-1100-10 combines

both networking and storage functions into a single

specialized Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).

This SoC combines 10Gbps iSCSI, TCP & IP offload,

12 embedded processors and storage virtualization

firmware onto a single chip. The tight integration of

these functions eliminates interoperability, timing

and support issues found in competitive products

that offer a “discrete implementation” wherein various

components are selected separately, then assembled.

RAID support

D-Link’s xStack iSCSI SAN arrays support RAID level

0, 1, 1+0 and 5 configurations (striped sets, mirrored

sets, striped mirrored sets and parity sets) for data

protection and performance.

D-Link supports S.M.A.R.T., disk scan, and non-

destructive data migration to prevent disk failure.

Embedded Centralized Storage Management

The embedded, user-friendly IP-SAN Device

Manager (IDM) provides a comprehensive console

for system management.

Boasting a rich set of

management features, this suite of utilities allows

monitoring and control of the SAN array via the

Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S)

command set.

With a secure server, users can

remotely configure and monitor their SAN arrays

over the Internet.

Advanced Management Features

The DSN-1100-10 also provides an advanced set

of features for efficient management and optimal

storage performance.

For the fastest RAID performance offered in the

industry, D-Link’s adaptive cache management

provides write coalescing and multi-stream

read-ahead on a volume basis, optimizing cache
