Summary

Entry-level, mid-range, and enterprise servers are used for a wide range of applications with distinct storage requirements, so the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array features a modular architecture with flexible configurations. For example, a solution can be deployed as direct-attached storage (DAS) or as part of a storage area network (SAN). Configuration preferences include RAID protection levels, single or redundant controllers, total storage capacity, multipathing and more.

Modularity and flexibility allow Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array storage solutions to be quickly and easily adapted to a particular environment.
