配置:高级 功能升级到高 性能层

MD3600f 系列阵列上的高性能层的高级功能可提升系统的性能,使之超

MD3600f 系列阵列在标准性能等级下工作时的性能。

如果订购了该功能,则会在存储阵列的盒子中附带一张高级功能激活卡。 阅读以下信息后,请按卡上的说明获取密钥文件并启用功能。

小心:丢失数据访问权限 - 如果启用或禁用高性能层的功能,则会自动重新 启动存储阵列。重新启动期间,无法使用数据。阵列重新启动完成后会恢复 数据的可用性。

要从标准性能层的存储阵列升级至高性能层的存储阵列,可使用 Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Management (MDSM) 软件启用高性能 层的高级功能。

启用或禁用高性能层的功能后会重新启动阵列。在此期间,暂时无法对控 制器进行数据访问和管理访问。

建议在启用或禁用该功能前停止阵列的所有 I/O 操作。

重新启动阵列时, MDSM 应用程序中阵列的状态可能会从 Optimal

(最佳)变为 Unresponsive (无响应)。重新启动完成后,状态会恢复为 Optimal (最佳)。

当阵列状态返回至 Optimal (最佳)时,可重新启动阵列的 I/O 操作。

MD3620F, MD3600f specifications

Dell's MD3620F and MD3600F storage arrays are designed for businesses seeking dependable, high-performance storage solutions tailored to meet the demands of modern data management. These models offer a blend of scalability, efficiency, and advanced features, making them well-suited for a range of applications, from virtual environments to critical database operations.

One of the primary features of the MD3620F and MD3600F is their support for a hybrid storage architecture. This approach allows organizations to combine flash storage with traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) to optimize performance and cost. The MD3620F focuses heavily on all-flash configurations, delivering exceptional speed and lower latency, ideal for I/O-intensive workloads.

Scalability is another hallmark of these storage solutions. The MD3600F allows users to scale up to 120 drives, providing robust capacity to meet growing data needs. The MD3620F is engineered for environments where data availability and speed are paramount, with support for high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) and consistent performance under stress.

In terms of data management, both systems integrate with Dell’s proprietary software, which enhances operational efficiency through features like automated tiering. This technology optimizes data placement between different storage types based on access frequency, ensuring that hot data is readily available while reducing costs associated with less critical data.

Reliability is crucial for businesses that depend on their storage systems. The MD3620F and MD3600F come equipped with advanced data protection mechanisms, such as RAID support, which safeguards against data loss, and snapshot capabilities that provide point-in-time copies of data. Moreover, these solutions include hot-swappable components, ensuring minimal downtime for maintenance and repairs.

Connectivity is also a strong suit of these storage arrays. They support multiple connectivity options, including SAS and iSCSI, allowing for flexible integration into existing IT infrastructures. This adaptability enhances their appeal to a wide range of enterprise environments.

In summary, the Dell MD3620F and MD3600F stand out as robust storage solutions with a combination of hybrid and all-flash configurations, scalability, advanced data management tools, and enhanced reliability features. These characteristics make them ideal for organizations looking to enhance their data storage capabilities while maintaining high performance and efficiency.
