D280 disk system
 
With its two gigabit Fibre Channel interface, the StorageTek® D280 disk subsystem delivers speeds up to 772 megabytes per second to meet the requirements of extremely high I/O and bandwidth environments. This subsystem, designed exclusively for Open Systems enterprise environments, scales to more than 32 terabytes of storage, providing the flexibility to grow with your business.
 
Spec Summary
   
Capacity range: 216 GB - 32.7 TB depending on drive capacity
Drive connections: Four 2 Gb/sec FC
Host connections: Eight 2 Gb/sec FC
Maximum burst I/O rate from cache: 148,000 I/O per sec
Maximum sustained I/O rate from media: 53,200 I/O per sec
 
Applications
Disk mirroring
With Remote Volume Mirroring, the D280 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 D280 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 D280 disk system has the extremely high I/O performance needed to support the most demanding online transaction processing requirements. High availability capabilities like path failover and mirroring work to keep critical data available.
 
Benefits
Improved customer service
The D280 system’s throughput speed accelerates transaction rates, which helps you improve staff productivity and customer service.
Higher availability
The D280 disk subsystem helps you increase the availability of business applications through online administration, redundant components and dual I/O paths with transparent failover.
Simplified management
The SANtricity™ Software Suite provides non-disruptive online storage management capabilities. You can manage the disk subsystem from your IT shop floor or from remote locations.
Increased ROI
Modular pay-as-you-grow scalability enables you to buy what you need today and expand as your storage needs change.
 
 Features
