PowerVault MD3200i arrays offer exceptional performance
and flexibility for storage consolidation and scalability to meet
unexpected business demands. Now it’s simple to improve storage
utilization by combining storage resources, increasing availability
with redundant hardware, and streamlining the backup process. A
single management interface and a single system to back up also
reduce management complexity.

Consolidation = efficiency
Reduce the effort required to store and manage your data.
MD3200i series arrays can support up to 32 physical servers
when connected to one or more 1Gb Ethernet switches. Storage
capacity, up to a maximum of 96 hard disk drives, can be
expanded by attaching a PowerVault MD1200 and/or MD1220
expansion enclosure.

Implement your network storage solution for less with MD3200i
series arrays using low-cost, well understood 1Gb Ethernet
technology rather than typically complicated and expensive Fibre
Channel solutions. Along with significant savings in hardware,
IP SANs can also lower training costs. Ethernet is a familiar
technology, so there’s usually no learning curve.

MD3200i arrays deliver an excellent performance/price ratio. Take
advantage of a next-generation array with four (4) iSCSI ports per
controller that offers a 2x performance improvement compared to
earlier MD storage arrays.

They easily handle the application demands of large databases
with increased processing capability. These arrays also support
solid state drives (SSD) to meet the most demanding I/O
requirements. An optional High Performance Tier firmware
upgrade is available to increase array I/O performance.

Gain a new level of management efficiency
MD3200i series arrays are managed by the advanced MD Storage
Manager software, an intuitive client-based Java application.
Designed for easy user interaction with the system no matter
what your level of familiarity with storage systems, it offers two
different management paths and features an enterprise window
that monitors multiple systems, including previous generation
MD3000i arrays, through a single interface.

Scale Easily: Up to 32 servers can be connected to a single
MD3200i or MD3220i storage system. Storage capacity can be
expanded up to a total of 96 hard drives. Scaling capacity is as
simple as plugging in additional PowerVault MD1200 and/or
PowerVault MD1220 enclosures.

Mix and Match Drives: MD3200i arrays can hold up to twelve
(12) 3.5 inch form factor hard drives and MD3220i arrays hold up
to twenty-four (24) 2.5 inch drives. Both the MD1200 enclosure
(twelve 3.5” hard drives) and the MD1220 enclosure (twenty-four
2.5” drives) can be added behind MD3200i series arrays, enabling
you to mix 3.5” and 2.5” drives in the same array. This flexibility
enables data tiering for optimizing system performance.

Self-encrypting Drives (SEDs): SEDs encrypt everything written
to the drive and de-crypt everything read from the drive. Once
an SED is secured, it becomes “locked” and unreadable by
unauthorized persons if the drive is ever powered down or
removed from the array.
