D-Link has released two new iSCSI SAN Arrays, the 1GbE DSN-6210 and 10GbE DSN-6510. Boasting speed and high availability and flexibility in both physical and virtual environments, the DSN-6210 and 6510 offer a cost-effective iSCSI solution for critical server applications.
The DSN-6210 includes (6) 1GbE Copper iSCSI data ports per controller and the DSN-6510 includes (2) 10GbE SFP+ iSCSI data ports per controller for high performance environments, dual-redundant power supplies, and a suite of data protection features for demanding applications, including snapshot, volume cloning, and remote replication.
Housed in a 2U form factor chassis, the DSN-6210 and DSN-6510 support up to 72TB of internal raw capacity with 12 SAS/SATA drive bays using 6TB drives. With the addition of up to 21 DSN-6020 expansion JBODs, the DSN-6000 series primary array can scale to over 1PB of raw capacity. The DSN-6000-series allows users to host multiple processing-intensive applications simultaneously without performance degradation, such as server virtualization, video post-production, backup, and disaster recovery.
Additional features of the DSN-6210 and DSN-6510 include:†
- Integrated GUI – Provides an intuitive graphical interface for easy configuration of the array.
- Green Features Save Energy – The auto disk spin down feature offers to lower power consumption and prolong life of the hard drives.
- Thin Provisioning – Purchase only the disk capacity actually required and provision later as need arises.
- Virtualization Technology Support – Supports a comprehensive set of virtualization technologies including VMware VAAI, Citrix, and Hyper-V. With VAAI certification, the disk array can offload server and network loading, speed up provisioning of new virtual machines, and increase VM density.
- Enterprise Level Features – Includes a suite of data protection features for network administrators, including snapshot, volume cloning, and remote replication at no additional cost.
