Network and Expansion I/O
Front-end-network protocols FC, iSCSI, SAS (supports simultaneous multiprotocol): FC + iSCSI or SAS + iSCSI)
Max 16Gb FC ports 8 per array (SFP+)
Max 10Gb iSCSI ports 16 SFP+ or BaseT per array
Max 12Gb SAS ports Up to 8 12Gb SAS ports
Management ports 2 per array (1Gb BASE-T)
Back-end expansion protocols 12Gb SAS
Max back-end expansion ports 8 per array Up to 16 expansion enclosures per array
Federation Create large multi-array systems under unified management, with seamless workload migration between arrays via included Live Migrate feature. Add arrays non-disruptively, efficiently utilizing their combined capacity and performance. Volume Advisor monitors federated arrays to suggest optimal data placement and load balancing. Volume movement does not impact snapshots or replication data protection.
Scripting support Microsoft PowerShell API RESTful API
Host OS support Microsoft® Windows Server®, Novell® NetWare, SLES, VMware®, Citrix® XenServer®, RedHat®
Third-party application integration VMware, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, OpenStack™, Symantec™, Commvault®, Veeam®, Docker™ -- see SC Series Management spec sheet for more details
Coexistence with PS Series arrays Replication in either direction Day-to-day management from a single interface Thin import: space-efficient, non-disruptive data migration from PS Series arrays
Certifications VMware vSphere Metro Storage Cluster, VMware SRM, Veritas Storage Foundations Suite; see Dell Storage Support Matrix for additional certifications and details
Reporting/alerts Support assist (phone home), remote diagnostics and performance monitoring, automated alerts, reports and notifications, departmental chargeback
Firmware updates Online, non-disruptive.Firmware may be set to download automatically, with option to trigger installation manually if desired.
Workload management QoS, VVOLs
Data Mobility
Replication Replicates with other SC Series arrays Synchronous/Asynchronous via FC or iSCSI Per-volume QoS bandwidth prioritization Target/source relationships may be one-to-many or many-to-one Supports all SC data services on source and target volumes Change replication types and topologies on demand Supports cross-platform replication with PS Series/EqualLogic arrays (either direction)
Volume mobility Live Migrate (included in base product) enables host-transparent data movement among arrays; see also Federation section
Federated multi-array systems Live Migrate (included in base product) enables host-transparent movement of volumes among arrays Snapshots maintained/preserved during migration
Thin Import Space-efficient, non-disruptive data migration from PS Series (EqualLogic) arrays
Thin Clones Clone standalone volumes with zero duplication of data Clones maintain independent snapshots and replication Ideal for VDI, test/dev, other applications that require discrete instances of common data More efficient than dedupe for database copies
