D173 disk system
 
Designed for entry-level to mid-range Open Systems storage environments, the full-Fibre Channel D173 disk subsystem supports modular expansion to more than six terabytes of information. This one-gigabit per second disk subsystem with enterprise-class functionality provides secure storage in a budget-friendly manner.
 
Spec Summary
   
Capacity range: 216 GB - 6.1 TB depending on drive capacity
Host connections: Two 1 GB/sec FC
Drive connections: Two 1 GB/sec FC
Maximum burst I/O rate from cache: 11,800 I/O per sec
 
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
Standard 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.
