With task-based tools and automated Wizard in the resource DVD, as well as business continuity in the proven MD Series of arrays, setup and management is easier and faster for storage consolidation and flexible shared networked storage.
Keep step with the future.
Performance improvements over previous-generation MD arrays include:
Upgrade cache from 512MB to 2GB battery-backed cache per controller
Replacing SATA drives with near-line serial attached SCSI (NL-SAS) drives for higher capacity and increased performance
Adding SSD support to meet the demanding performance and reliability needs of datacenters and other high-performance computing environments
Offering improved scalability with support for supplementary expansion with PowerVault MD1200 and MD1220 enclosures — up to 96 drives total
In addition, the high-performance tier option provides an incremental boost to performance, ideal for sequential applications, such as Web streaming or data backup.
Gain a new level of management efficiency.
Use the intuitive Multi-generational/Multi-protoco system management, physical views and dynamic setup capabilities to help quick-start your storage upgrade. With expertise and ease of use features built into the software, out-of-the-box installation can take less than 30 minutes.
The MD Storage Manager is ideally suited for the full-time storage administrator, who wants complete control over their storage configuration, as well as the part-time systems administrator, who needs an intuitive interface that helps them ensure optimal storage utilization.
The Enterprise Window provides a consolidated monitoring view of multiple arrays including not only the MD36x0f series but also the MD3200i series as well as the earlier generation MD3000i and MD3000 arrays.
Various logical and physical views of the arrays provide an at-a-glance storage array settings and status.
The Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM) monitors system health. If a problem is detected, it alerts the users and automatically triggers the Recovery Guru to assist with diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Drive down the cost of storage management.
Deploying PowerVault MD3600f and MD3620f arrays can help reduce your power budget and trim your storage resources, enabling you to cut operating costs and more efficiently scale your data center.

Maximize your rack space

MD3600f/MD3620f arrays, in a 2U enclosure, are up to 20 percent denser than previous models, with 6 drives per U as opposed to 5 per U in MD3000 and MD3000i arrays.

Save energy costs

The MD3600f/MD3620f redundant power supplies have received 80 PLUS® for delivering energy efficiency of up to 80 percent, which means that as little as 20 percent of electrical energy is wasted as heat.

Increase density, lower power use

2.5” drives available in both the MD3600f and MD3620f use up to 70 percent less space and consumer 50 percent less power than 3.5” mechanical drives.
