Applications |
Application development
The entry-level price and flexible management tools
of the D173 disk system reduce the cost and effort
of application development projects. Common
management tools with other D-Series disk systems
makes the transition production easier and more
reliable. |
Storage
consolidation
The D173 disk system can be used to consolidate
storage for small groups of users or applications.
With SANtricity Storage Manager™ software,
management and configuration tasks are centralized
with an easy-to-use interface. |
Workgroup
and departmental computing
When implemented behind one or several servers, the
D173 can affordably meet the multi-purpose storage
needs of workgroups and small departments. Future
departmental expansion is eased with upgrades to
larger D-Series disk systems. |
|
|
Benefits |
Investment protection
The modularity of the D173 subsystem permits
pay-as-you-grow storage expansion and seamless
upgrades to the StorageTek® D178 or D280 disk
subsystems. |
Time and
cost savings
With its enterprise-class functionality and
scalability, the D173 disk subsystem delivers the
performance you need to consolidate workgroup
storage to save time and resources. |
Higher
availability
Sustain continuous access and avoid downtime costs
with a redundant dual active controller driver,
automated volume transfer capabilities and
hot-swappable components. |
Centralized management
With SANtricity™ Storage Manager software, you can
manage your D173 disk subsystem and configure your
storage resources from anywhere in your business
with an easy-to-use graphic user interface. |
|
|
Features |
SnapShot
copies
Add SANtricity Software Suite with Snapshot software
to create point-in-time copies for increased data
protection, faster data replication and reduced
capacity usage. |
SAN
readiness
Built-in fabric log support and full heterogeneous
attach capabilities help you implement a storage
area network more easily. |
Fibre
Channel connectivity
The D173 system provides a Fibre Channel storage
solution for Open Systems environments, including
UNIX, Linux and Windows hosts. |
Virtualization support
Combine the D173 disk subsystem with the host-level
virtualization capabilities of StorageTek®
Application Storage Manager™ (ASM) for seamless
integration of disk and tape resources. |
