D240 disk system
 
With its full two gigabit per second Fibre Channel connectivity, the StorageTek D240 disk subsystem provides 77,500 IOPS to meet the requirements of throughput-intensive database applications. This mid-range disk subsystem scales to more than 16 terabytes, making it well suited to open-systems workgroup storage consolidation and data replication applications.
 
 
 
Applications
Disk mirroring
With Remote Volume Mirroring, the D240 disk system has complete synchronous and asyncronous disk mirroring functionality. It can be used as a local mirror for sharing or distributing data, or as a remote mirror for rapid disaster recovery.
Storage consolidation
The D240 disk system has the capacity and management to consolidate storage for multiple workgroups or departments. With SANtricity Storage Manager™ software, management and configuration tasks are centralized with an easy-to-use interface.
Online transaction processing
The D240 disk system has the I/O performance needed to support transaction-heavy online transaction processing applications. Application growth is not constrained, since the D240 disk system data can be easily migrated to other D-Series disk systems.
 
Benefits
Increased customer satisfaction
The D240 system’s high-speed disk performance gives you the throughput you need to improve transaction rates and increase customer satisfaction.
Higher availability
The D240 system helps you increase the availability of business applications through online administration, redundant components and dual I/O paths with transparent failover.
Centralized management
With SANtricity™ Storage Manager software, you can manage the D240 disk subsystem from anywhere in your business with an easy-to-use graphic user interface.
Investment protection
Modular pay-as-you-grow scalability enables you to buy what you need today and expand as your storage needs change. Or you can easily migrate to the larger D178 or D280 systems without costly forklift upgrades.
 
 Features
