01
The D-Link Storage Area Network (SAN) Arrays (DSN-
3200 & DSN-3400) provide a reliable network data storage
solution for customers in entry-level and SMB segments.
Utilizing a 10Gbit iSCSI System-on-a-Chip (SoC) solution
that can handle over 80,000 I/Os per second and capable of
supporting 15TB raw capacity using 1TB hard drives (and
even higher capacity hard drives as they are introduced),
the DSN-3000 Arrays can easily be implemented as nearline
storage to supplement your primary IP network storage
solution or used as a basic backup and recovery device. This
evolutionary advancement in performance is a testament to
the tightly integrated storage architecture and is a sharp
contrast to the discrete implementation of competing
products.
iSCSI for IP Networks
SAN has been traditionally reserved for Fibre Channel
networks until the recent introduction of iSCSI extended
this powerful yet simple centralized backend (behind
server-based) storage system to IP networks. By utilizing
existing Ethernet technology, the cost associated with
separate host bus adapters and the per-Gigabyte cost for
storage is significantly reduced.
A Choice of Host Interfaces – 1GbE or 10GbE
The DSN-3200 implements eight 1GbE ports and supports
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Groups (LAG) for full offload
capability so that all eight ports can be grouped together,
totaling up to 850MB/s bandwidth, for increased throughput
and redundancy.
The DSN-3400 implements the industry’s first built-in, fully
integrated 10GbE interface in the storage cost effective
solution. Providing up to 1160MB/s bandwidth, it offers a high
performance alternative to 4Gbps Fibre Channel.
System-on-a-Chip (SoC) Implementation
By utilizing a SoC design, the DSN-3000 Series SAN Arrays
combine both networking and storage functions into a single
specialized Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The
SoC solution combines 10Gbps iSCSI, TCP & IP offload, embedded
processors, and a storage virtualization firmware stack onto a
single chip. The tight integration of these functions eliminates
interoperability, timing, and support issues found in competitive
products that offer “discrete implementation” wherein a chassis,
a main motherboard, a RAID storage controller, iSCSI software
or controller, network interface cards, and operating system
software are picked separately and then assembled. The
DSN-3000 line outperforms these discrete implementations
and does so at a lower price point, while delivering mission
critical data quickly with state-of-the-art reliability.
RAID for Efficiency
The DSN-3000 Series SAN Array platform features 15 hot
swappable Serial ATA (SATA) disk drive bays supporting 15TB
raw capacity using 1TB hard drives (and even higher capacity
hard drives as they are introduced) in RAID level 0, 1, 1+0
and 5 configurations. You can quickly deploy a SAN using
inexpensive SATA disk drives, and depending on your growing
storage needs, you can simply add more drives as you go.
Embedded Centralized Storage Management
The embedded, user-friendly IP-SAN Device Manager (IDM)
provides comprehensive network storage management.
