The PowerVault NX3500 adds scale-up NAS capability to PowerVault MD32x0iand MD36x0i storage to create a scale-up Unified Storage solution. It is an easy-to-use solution for smaller-scale deployments with increasing iSCSI, NFS and CIFS-based data storage needs.
With the PowerVault MD backend, you can scale storage of CIFS, NFS and iSCSI-based data up to 389TB of capacity. As your storage needs increase, you can add or modify block and file capacity dynamically as needed without disrupting your existing applications and storage systems.
The PowerVault NX3500 incorporates Dell Fluid File System, a high performance, high availability file system based on proven technology. The PowerVault NX3500 also offers affordable data protection features, including user-restorable snapshots, asynchronous replication, and NDMP backup capabilities.
The PowerVault™ NX3500 utilizes Dell™ Fluid File System and the MD back end for Internet SCSI (iSCSI), common internet file system (CIFS) and network file system (NFS) access to block and file data, enabling a single file share to scale up to the capacity of the MD deployment, currently 389TB1 of usable capacity.
- Powerful: Consolidate block and file data with high-availability unified storage
- Flexible: Easily add or modify iSCSI-, NFS- and CIFS-based storage as needs grow
- Secure: Built-in data protection features such as snapshots and replication help provide security and data integrity
Take control of that avalanche of unstructured file data from file intensive user shares, rich content and virtual environments. PowerVault™ NX3500 can help provide unified storage with scale-up NAS for PowerVault MD iSCSI arrays.
Deploy versatile unified storage by integrating high-performance NAS with MD32x0i and MD36x0i iSCSI arrays and MD12x0 expansion enclosures. The PowerVault NX3500 with Dell Fluid File System is designed to help optimize file-access performance and hardware utilization while helping eliminate capacity and file-share size constraints.
