Chapter 1 Introduction The xStack Storage Array is an intelligent, high-performance iSCSI Gigabit Ethernet storage solution designed for businesses that want to improve the reliability, availability, serviceability, and performance of their storage systems. Based on an Internet Protocol-Storage Area Network (IP-SAN) architecture, the xStack Storage controller is built around a custom-designed Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)solution combining 10Gbps iSCSI, TCP/IP offload, embedded processors and a storage virtualization firmware stack controlled by firmware loaded into the on-board flash memory. The controller is housed in a 19-inch 2U rugged hardware enclosure holding up to 8 internal Serial ATA (SATA) drives, up to 512MB of system memory and up to 4GB of cache buffer memory. Host connectors for DSN-2100 are as follows: - Four 1GbE RJ-45 host connectors accessed via the rear panel The xStack Storage Array's rear panel also has a 10/100 Mbps management port and an RS-232-C DB9 diagnostic/console port. Complete configuration and management are available through the intuitive, GUI-based Web Manager interface. A variety of network configurations are easily established using the xStack Storage Array's volume management, initiator, target, network portal, and Link Aggregation Group (LAG) features. In addition, the xStack Storage Array features Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), default task priority, cache, TCP/IP, spare count, and battery policy settings for advanced users. xStack Storage User's Guide 11

Introduction
The xStack Storage Array is an intelligent, high-performance iSCSI Gigabit Ethernet storage
solution designed for businesses that want to improve the reliability, availability, serviceability,
and performance of their storage systems.
Based on an Internet Protocol-Storage Area Network (IP-SAN) architecture, the xStack Storage
controller is built around a custom-designed Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)solution
combining 10Gbps iSCSI, TCP/IP offload, embedded processors and a storage virtualization
firmware stack controlled by firmware loaded into the on-board flash memory. The controller is
housed in a 19-inch 2U rugged hardware enclosure holding up to 8 internal Serial ATA (SATA)
drives, up to 512MB of system memory and up to 4GB of cache buffer memory.
Host connectors
for DSN-2100 are as follows:
-
Four 1GbE RJ-45 host connectors accessed via the rear panel
The xStack Storage Array’s rear panel also has a 10/100 Mbps management port and an RS-232-C
DB9 diagnostic/console port.
Complete configuration and management are available through the intuitive, GUI-based Web
Manager interface. A variety of network configurations are easily established using the xStack
Storage Array’s volume management, initiator, target, network portal, and Link Aggregation
Group (LAG) features. In addition, the xStack Storage Array features Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
default task priority, cache, TCP/IP, spare count, and battery policy settings for advanced users.
