PowerVault MD3600i/MD3620i arrays offer exceptional performance
and flexibility for storage consolidation and scalability to meet your
business demands. Now it’s simple to improve storage utilization by
combining storage resources, increasing availability with redundant
hardware, and streamlining the backup process. By consolidating data
and resources with a single array, back up strategies and management
complexities are minimized.

Consolidation = efficiency
Reduce the effort required to store and manage your data.
MD3600i/MD3620i series arrays can support up to 64 physical
servers when connected to one or more 1Gb or 10Gb Ethernet
switches. Storage capacity, up to a base of 120 hard disk drives, can
be expanded by attaching additional PowerVault MD1200 and/or
MD1220 expansion enclosures. Furthermore, an option to upgrade to
192 hard drives is available for additionally scalability.

With the MD Storage Manager, all administrative tasks, including
configuration, re-configuration, expansion, maintenance and
performance tuning, can be performed with no system downtime
and no interruption to array performance. MD Storage Managers
configuration flexibility includes the ability to mix RAID levels, segment
sizes, array sizes, and cache policies all within a single storage array.

Scale Easily: Up to 64 servers can be connected to a single MD3600i
or MD3620i storage system. Storage capacity can be expanded
up to a total of 192 hard drives. Scaling capacity is as simple as
plugging in additional PowerVault MD1200 and/or PowerVault
MD1220 enclosures.

Mix and Match Drives: MD3600i arrays can hold up to twelve (12) 3.5
inch form factor hard drives and MD3620i 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 MD3600i series arrays. This flexibility enables data
tiering for optimizing system performance.

Optional features
Snapshots — Each virtual disk supports up to sixteen snapshots, with
a total of 256 snapshots per system. These are typically used when
data needs to be “frozen” in time. Snapshot scheduler and Snapshot
Rollback are features included in the Premium Feature Key providing
additional data availability.

Virtual Disk Copy (VDC) - Virtual disk copy is full replication of an
existing virtual disk at any point in time, often used for decision
support and application development testing. Reads and writes are
supported while doing a virtual copy.
