xStack Storage with 1 * 10 GB fiber port , 15 real tray version

The D-Link xStack Storage Area Network  (SAN) Arrays (DSN-3200  &  DSN-3400)  are  designed  to  provide  a reliable network data storage solution  for customers  in entry-level and SMB segments. Utilizing a 10Gbit  iSCSI System-on-a-Chip  (SoC)  solution  that  can  handle  over 65,000  I/Os per second and capable of supporting over 11TB  raw  capacity  using  750GB  hard  drives  (and  even higher capacity hard drives as they are introduced), the DSN-3000 Arrays can easily be implemented as nearline storage to supplement your primary IP network storage solution  or  be  used  as  a  basic  backup  and  recovery device. This evolutionary advancement  in performance is  a  testament  to  the  tightly  integrated  xStack Storage architecture  and  is  a  sharp  contrast  to  the  discrete implementation of competing products.

iSCSI for IP Networks
SAN  has  been  traditionally  reserved  for  Fiber  Channel networks  until  the  recent  introduction  of  iSCSI  that extends  this  powerful  yet  simple  centralized  backend (behind  server-based)  storage  system  to  IP  networks. By  utilizing  existing  Ethernet  technology,  the  cost associated  with  separate  host  bus  adapters  and  the per-Gigabyte cost for storage is signifcantly reduced. IP SANs based on  iSCSI  technology can  leverage existing and familiar Ethernet standards to provide speeds of up to 1160MBytes bandwidth with the DSN-3400.

xStack Storage with 8 * 1 GB ports , 15 real tray version

The D-Link xStack Storage™ Area Network (SAN) Array DSN-3200-10 is designed to provide a reliable network data storage solution for customers in entry-level and SMB segments. Utilizing a 10Gbit iSCSI System-on-a-Chip (SoC) solution that can handle over 80,000 I/Os per second and capable of supporting 15TB raw capacity using 1TB hard drives (and even higher capacity hard drives as they are introduced), the DSN-3200-10 Array can easily be implemented as nearline storage to supplement your primary IP network storage solution or be used as a basic backup and recovery device. This evolutionary advancement in performance is a testament to the tightly integrated xStack Storage architecture and is a sharp contrast to the discrete implementation of competing products.

By utilizing existing Ethernet technology, the cost associated with separate host bus adapters and the per-Gigabyte cost for storage is significantly reduced.

High Performance iSCSI Interface
The DSN-3200-10 implements eight 1GbE ports and supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Groups (LAG) for full offload capability so that all eight ports can be grouped together, totaling up to 850MB/s bandwidth, for increased throughput and redundancy.

System-on-a-Chip (SoC) Implementation
By utilizing a SoC design, the DSN-3200-10 SAN Array combines both networking and storage functions into a single specialized Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The SoC solution combines 10Gbps iSCSI, TCP & IP offload, embedded processors, and a storage virtualization firmware stack onto a single chip. The tight integration of these functions eliminate interoperability, timing, and support issues found in competitive products that offer “discrete implementation” wherein a chassis, a main motherboard, a RAID storage controller, iSCSI software or controller, network interface cards, and operating system software are picked separately and then assembled. The DSN-3200-10 Array outperforms these discrete implementations and does so at a lower price point. It also delivers mission critical data quickly with state-of-the-art reliability.

RAID for Efficiency
The DSN-3200-10 SAN Array platform features 15 hot swappable Serial ATA (SATA) disk drive bays supporting 15TB raw capacity using 1TB hard drives (and even higher capacity hard drives as they are introduced) in RAID level 0, 1, 1+0 and 5 configurations. You can quickly deploy a SAN using inexpensive SATA disk drives and depending on your growing storage needs, you can simply add more drives as you go.

 

xStack Storage with 8 real tray

The D-Link DSN-2100-10 xStack Storage Area Network (SAN) Array is designed to provide a smaller, more value oriented solution for entry-level and SMB customers. The heart of the DSN-2100-10 SAN Array is based on the same powerful System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design found in larger arrays such as the DSN-3000 series of products, but housed in a smaller chassis. Utilizing a 10Gbit iSCSI SoC solution that can handle over 80,000 I/Os per second and capable of supporting 8TBs of raw capacity using 1TB hard drives (and even higher capacity hard drives as they are introduced), the DSN-2100-10 SAN Array can easily be implemented as nearline storage or as a supplement to your primary backup and recovery device. This evolutionary advancement in performance is a testament to the tightly integrated xStack Storage architecture and is a sharp contrast to the discrete implementation of competing products.

SAN has been traditionally reserved for Fibre Channel networks until the recent introduction of iSCSI that extends this powerful yet simple centralized backend storage system to IP networks. By utilizing existing Ethernet technology, the cost associated with separate host bus adapters and the per-Gigabyte cost for storage is significantly reduced. iSCSI SANs can leverage the Ethernet infrastructure and standards which are quite familiar to your IT staff.

Four 1GbE Interfaces
The DSN-2100-10 SAN Array implements four 1GbE ports and supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Groups (LAG) for full offload capability so that all four ports can be grouped together, totaling up to 425MB/s bandwidth, for increased throughput and redundancy.
