Engineering Parameters
| Chassis form factor | Controller enclosure: 2U rack mount Expansion enclosures: * DE120S: 2U rack mount * DE240S: 2U rack mount * DE600S: 4U rack mount |
|---|---|
| Controller Configuration | Dual active-active controller configuration with automatic load balancing. |
| RAID Level | RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10; Dynamic Disk Pools. * RAID 6, minimum six drives are required (five drives with one hot spare) for system functionality and data storage. |
| Memory And Cache | 64 GB per system (32 GB per controller). Cache mirroring between the controllers. Flash-backed cache protection (includes battery for destaging to flash). |
| Expansion The cabinet. Supports | * 8x DE120S * 4x DE240S * 4x DE600S * Expansion enclosures intermix up to a maximum of 4 expansion enclosures |
| Drive bays And Drive | DE6500 storage system: * DE6500 2U24 SFF drives * Up to 24 NVMe (TLC or QLC) or 24x SSDs drive bays in main enclosure * DE120S Expansion enclosure: 2U12 LFF drives * Drive bays -12 * DE240S Expansion enclosure: 2U24 SFF drives * Drive bays -24 * DE600S Expansion enclosure: 4U60 LFF drives * Drive bays -60 See Drives for details. |
| Backend Expansion Connection | * 8x 12 Gb SAS host ports (Mini-SAS HD, SFF-8644) (4 ports per controller) for expansion scale-up, daisy chaining of the expansion enclosures. * 2x SAS expansion cards are required and must be installed in slot 3 only of the DE6500 controller. One in controller A, one in controller B. |
| Storage Capacity Supports | * Main enclosure (QLC NVMe) (24x 61.44TB QLC) 1.47PB + [4 x DE600S (240x 24TB) 5.76PB ] = 7.23PB * Scale up requires installation of a SAS expander card into slot 3 only |
| Storage Agreements | SAN (Block access): FC, iSCSI, NVMe/FC and NVMe/RoCE. |
| Host Interface | A DE6500 enclosure has two controllers. * Supported I/O ports are: * 16x 10/25Gb iSCSI * 4x 10/25Gb 4 port Ethernet HIC (DAC or SW fiber optics, LC) (2 HICs per controller, supported in slot 1 / slot 2) * 16x 64Gb FC, NVMe FC * 4x 64/32Gb 4 Port Fiber Channel Adapter HIC (SW fiber optics, LC) (2 HICs per controller, supported in slot 1 / slot 2) * 8x 100Gb NVMe RoCE * 4x 100Gb 2 Port Ethernet HIC (DAC cable or SW fiber optics, MPO) (2 HICs per controller, supported in slot 1 / slot 2) Note: HICs are not hot-swappable. |
