Put the latest storage technology to work for you
The PowerVault™ NX3100 is a capacity-dense, dedicated network attached storage (NAS) solution that’s integrated with enhanced file-sharing software and designed to help smaller offices stay efficient and productive. The NX3100 is also flexible enough to support applications (block data) that help people with limited resources save time by eliminating the need to manage separate types of storage.
- Supports up to 24TB in a compact 2U chassis
- Expands up to 384TB total external capacity with Dell™ PowerVault™, EqualLogic™ and EMC™ arrays
- Ships with everything you need — the automated initial setup and configuration wizard lets you easily set and forget
Share up to 384TB of files and applications in your office
The PowerVault NX3100 supports up to 24TB of internal capacity with 12 data drives in a compact, 2U chassis. Choose from 450GB/600GB serial-attached SCSI (SAS) or 1TB/2TB near-line SAS. You can also scale your system externally to keep pace with your growing office.
- Expand capacity up to 384TB total external capacity with Dell PowerVault, EqualLogic or EMC external arrays.
- Consolidate all your file-sharing resources for cross-platform collaboration with Network File System (NFS).
- Deliver better managed file services across Server Message Block (SMB) and NFS with File Services Resource Manager (FSRM).
The NX3100 is a capacity-dense solution designed for sharing information across both files and block data. More flexibility means you can do more with less, cutting the systemwide deployment and management costs.
