Microsoft 服务

虚拟磁盘服务

Microsoft 虚拟磁盘服务 (VDS) 是 Windows 操作系统的一个组件。 VDS 组件利用第三方供应商特定的软件模块 （称为提供程序）来访问和配置 第三方存储资源，例如：MD3600f 存储阵列。 VDS 组件具有一组应用程 序编程接口 (API)，提供用于管理磁盘和其他存储硬件的单一接口。

MD3600f 系列 VDS 提供程序可启用 Windows 工具 （包括磁盘管理器） 来访问和配置存储阵列虚拟磁盘。

适用于 MD3600f 系列存储阵列的 VDS 提供程序可在 MD3600f 系列资源 介质中使用。有关 VDS 的详细信息，请参见 microsoft.com。

卷影复制服务

Microsoft 卷影复制服务 (VSS) 是 Microsoft Windows 操作系统的一个组 件。 VSS 组件利用第三方供应商特定的软件模块 （称为提供程序）来访 问和利用第三方存储资源 （例如， MD3600f 系列存储阵列）提供的快照 和磁盘备份功能。通过将 VSS 组件与 VSS 提供程序相结合 （包含于 MD3600f 资源介质中），第三方和 Windows 备份与快照应用程序便可使

用 MD3600f 系列阵列。

注：用作 VSS 快照的源虚拟磁盘的名称不得超过 16 个字符。

VSS 硬件提供程序会将源虚拟磁盘名称用作快照及存储库虚拟磁盘名称的 前缀。如果源虚拟磁盘名称超过 16 个字符，则生成的快照和存储库名称会 超长。

VSS 可连接到该服务并使用它来协调存储阵列中快照虚拟磁盘的创建。 VSS 启动的快照虚拟磁盘可通过备份工具 （称为请求程序）触发。 VSS 提供程序配置工具提供以下配置选项：

•Snapshot Repository Virtual Disk Properties （快照存储库虚拟磁盘属 性）—此区域包含 RAID 级别的下拉列表，以及用于输入源虚拟磁盘 容量占快照存储库百分比的字段。

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.
