Introduction
PowerVault NX3500 Architecture
The PowerVault NX3500 clustered NAS solution consists of a pair of
controllers and the PowerVault Modular Disk (MD) iSCSI storage array. In
addition, both controllers are protected by BPS, which helps protect data
during power failure.
Each controller has two connections (four for the solution) to the customer's
LAN/client network; two connections (four for the solution) to the customer's
SAN network and two controller peer to peer connections for the cluster's
internal network.
