Consolidation = efficiency
Reduce the effort required to store and manage your data. MD3200i
/MD3220i series arrays can support up to 32 physical servers when
connected to one or more 1Gb Ethernet switches. Storage capacity,
up to a base of 120 hard disk drives, can be expanded by attaching
a PowerVault MD1200 and/or MD1220 expansion enclosure. For
additional scalability there is option to increase up to 192 hard drives.

Implement your network storage solution for less with
MD3200i/MD3220i series arrays using cost-effective, well
understood 1Gb Ethernet technology. 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.

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 192 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.

an SED is secured, it becomes “locked” and unreadable by
unauthorized persons if the drive is ever removed from the array.
