Dell PowerVault NX3100

Dell PowerVault NX3100 NAS

The Dell PowerVault NX3100 offers high capacity density through 12 data drives that provide support for up to 24 Terabytes (TB) within a compact 2U chassis. And as a dedicated Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution, the high capacity density of the NX3100 is advantageous since it reduces the storage footprint of your enterprise data center – helping to increase the NX3100’s productivity as well its cost and space-efficiency. As a result, the Dell NX3100 is particularly well-suited for small to medium enterprise environments looking to optimize limited resources by increasing storage efficiency. Able to support both block data and file sharing applications, the PowerVault NX3100 also saves these enterprise customers time by eliminating any need for separate management of these different types of storage. And the NX3100 simplifies management even further by means of Dell OpenManage software and tools such as Server Message Block (SMB) and NFS with File Services Resource Manager (FSRM).

There are still many other advantages of the Dell PowerVault NX3100 left to mention, such as its ability to expand to up to 384 TB of total external capacity by way of 2 separate Dell options as well as a third-party option: Dell PowerVault, Dell EqualLogic and EMC arrays. Furthermore, the Dell NX3100 NAS features the ability to be custom-configured to the specific needs of your enterprise IT environment through a choice of disk drive types including high-capacity, near-line Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives of either 1 TB or 2 TB each, or even higher-performance SAS drives of either 450 Gigabytes (GB) or 600GB each. Additional options that allow the Dell PowerVault NX3100 to be a custom storage solution include memory options such as 6 GB, 12 GB or 24 GB of Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) memory, as well as support for 1 or 2 Intel Xeon processors.
