All-new hardware platform
Designed as the next-generation successor to the popular SC4020 array, SC5020 is a performance powerhouse. With dual 8-core Intel processors, 4x more memory and a 12Gb SAS back end, the SC5020 delivers
- Up to 3X higher bandwidth (GB/sec)
The new 3U “all-in-one” chassis includes 30 drive bays plus dual hot-swappable controllers, providing up to 460TB raw capacity in a single compact unit. A variety of expansion enclosures lets you scale over 2PB per array – with even larger scale-out potential in federated multi-array systems.
But the advantages don’t stop with fast hardware. SC5020 includes all the Storage Center Operating System (SCOS) features you’ve come to expect from SC Series storage.
Crank up the performance, crank down the cost:
SC5020 makes storage cost savings automatic with a modern architecture that optimizes your data center for economics while delivering transformational SSD, HDD or hybrid performance.
SC Series provides the lowest effective price/GB for flash and hybrid flash, giving companies of any size the technology advantage they need to compete in today’s fast-changing markets. Highlights include:
- Data Progression – Achieve IOPS goals with the least expensive mix of storage media, even as performance needs evolve
- Deduplication & Compression – Dramatically reduce the raw capacity required to store your data
- RAID tiering – Eliminate manual provisioning, increase efficiency and utilization
- Federation – Simplify multi-array environments with quick and seamless data movement, plus proactive load balancing assistance via Live Migrate and Volume Advisor
- ProSupport Services – Reduce deployment costs with remote installation options that ensure your project goes right the first time.
- Persistent software licensing – Future-proof your investment, minimize the cost of upgrades and expansions
