D-Link DSN-6410 DSN-6110 Datasheet - Page 3

DSN-6000 Series iSCSI SAN Array total of 512 writable or read-only snapshots are supported and compliant to Microsoft Windows Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS). These snapshots can be implemented manually or through automated scheduling which allows hourly or daily configuration. In addition, the snapshot technology follows the block-level copy-on-write technology which provides fast recovery of data in case of a disk failure, file corruption or program malfunction. Remote replication, cloning and snapshot technology are supplied as standard features in all DSN-6000 Series storage solutions, at no additional cost. Additional Features The DSN-6000 Series incorporates advanced high availability features such as RAID 6 and RAID 60, writable snapshots, Microsoft Windows VSS support, and volume configuration restoration. These advanced features help to reduce or eliminate any system downtime. Unlike other vendors, D-Link's DSN-6000 Series (with a secondary controller installed) is able to upgrade its onboard firmware without the need for a system reboot or any system downtime. Firmware images and volume handling are protected by the redundant controllers, when one RAID controller is down or has lost its connection, the other RAID controller takes over the tasks immediately. This ensures that volumes and services are transferred seamlessly and simultaneously. Expansion Options The DSN-6110 & DSN-6410 primary arrays each support 12 internal SAS/SATA1 hard drives and with the addition of up to four DSN-6020 expansion arrays, can scale to a total of 180TB of raw storage capacity using 3TB1 drives. Green Energy Savings The DSN-6000 Series is equipped with D-Link Green features for saving power. When properly configured, the power consumption of hard drives can be reduced to a minimum using the auto disk spin down feature. The DSN-6000 Series array monitors environmental temperatures to optimize the cooling mechanism. The fan modules respond only when needed. The power supply modules are all 80 PLUS power efficient, providing a more favorable power conversion rate. These power-saving features help to greatly reduce energy consumption and increase the product's lifespan, which is critical in a data center environment. RAID support The DSN-6000 Series iSCSI SAN arrays support RAID levels 0, 1 (N-way mirror), 0+1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 30, 50, 60 and JBOD for data protection and performance. SATA Bridge Board (DSN-654) Applications The optimized IOPS and throughput are capable of providing the necessary performance for critical online services such as cloud storage, SQL, Microsoft Exchange, video editing and video streaming applications. Furthermore, with its iSCSI interface, D-Link's DSN-6000 Series is ideal for virtualization environments like VMware, Hyper-V and Citrix. The DSN-654 SAS to SATA bridge board is designed to enable single-ported SATA drives to connect seamlessly like native dual-ported SAS drives. The DSN-654 is required for each drive, for SATA deployments in a dual controller configuration or with SATA hard drives having capacities of 3TB or greater, as described in the diagram below. Also, these same rules will apply to SATA drives installed in any additional DSN-6020 expansion enclosures. The DSN-6000 Series appears in the VMware Hardware Compatibility Guide, Citrix XenServer Hardware Compatibility List and the Microsoft Windows Server Catalog. SATA drives in the following configurations need a SATA bridge board: Single Controller Configuration Dual Controller Configuration • DSN-6110 • DSN-6410 SATA HDD Needs DSN-654 for 3TB and over • DSN-6110+DSN-610 • DSN-6410+DSN-640 SAS HDD No DSN-654 required SATA HDD Needs DSN-654 SAS HDD No DSN-654 required
