The heart of the DSN-1100 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. [. . . ] 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. Embedded Centralized Storage Management Four 1GbE Interfaces The DSN-1100 implements four 1GbE ports that support IEEE 802. 3ad Link Aggregation Groups (LAG) for full offload capability. This allows all four ports to be grouped together for up to 425MB/s bandwidth, increasing throughput and redundancy. The embedded, user-friendly IP-SAN Device Manager (IDM) provides comprehensive network storage management. Advanced Management Features The DSN-1100 provides additional advanced features for efficient management of network storage and optimal performance. DSN-1000 Series Managed SAN Solutions D-Link 4x1GbE iSCSI SAN Array with 5 SATA Bays For the fastest RAID performance offered in the industry, the D-Link adaptive cache management provides write coalescing and multi-stream read-ahead on a volume basis, optimizing cache utilization and performance in an application-dependent manner. Volatile cache data protection is afforded via an on-board battery that is designed to back up to 1GB of cached memory for at least 72 hours. VLAN Zoning supports IEEE 802. 1q VLAN tagging to segregate traffic into isolated zones for secure access and jumbo frames, improving network throughput and reducing CPU overhead. Volume Virtualization utilizes the concept of storage Extents. Extents are the fundamental building blocks used to enable features such as RAID, online capacity expansion and volume migration. Drives of dissimilar size can be used to create volumes. Growth can occur without volume migration or reconstruction. Single drives can contain multiple and divergent RAID technologies. RAID Support for RAID Levels 0, 1, 1+0 and 5 (striped sets, mirrored sets, striped mirrored sets, and parity sets) allows for different storage options. Online Capacity Expansion and RAID Level Migration are performed online with minimal impact on users. For example, a mirror volume of two drives can easily be converted to a parity volume of three or more drives while users continue to access this storage. Micro Rebuilds provide protection against unresponsive SATA commands by forcing a response within a preset time limit. An iSCSI array can prove to be a valuable tool to supplement your network storage foundation. [. . . ] D-Link is a registered trademark of D-Link Corporation and its overseas subsidiaries.
