rEDUCE opErationaL Costs

Virtual provisioning

enables the CX4-120

to allocate space only as it is needed by

hosts instead of setting up a large pool

of storage that goes unused. The result

is that fewer drives are required, helping

to reduce hardware costs, management

time and costs, and power consumption.

EnhanCED Data tiEring

With the addition of energy-efficient

SATA drives, new options for data tiering

are available for the CX4-120 that can

help reduce costs and maximise resource

utilisation. Data can be tiered on 15K RPM

FC, 10K RPM FC, 7.2K RPM SATA, and

5.4K RPM SATA drives within the same

storage array.

CooLing Costs

Low-power SATA drives consume up to

32% less energy than standard 7.2K RPM

SATA drives.* In addition, the array uses

adaptive cooling where fans spin only as

fast as needed to keep it cool.

ManagE yoUr Data

With Dell/EMC storage arrays, you can

easily deploy, expand, and redeploy

storage. You can migrate data

seamlessly between different classes

of drives and RAID types to deliver the

optimal combination of performance

and availability. And with Virtual LUN

technology, data migration takes place

dynamically and effortlessly, helping

avoid disruption. Dell/EMC storage arrays

support the EMC data replication and

migration applications, Mirrorview™ and

SAN Copy™. These optional tools let you

remotely mirror data from one array to

another to help meet disaster recovery

goals or to simply move data across

arrays.

soLvE yoUr probLEMs

Dell/EMC storage arrays are integrated

into Dell's Exchange®, SQL Server®, and

Oracle® solutions, which offer tested

and validated reference architectures to

help solve your messaging and database

challenges.

Virtual Provisioning/ 450GB 15k FC drive are expected to be available in Oct/Nov 2008. Date is

an estimate only and subject to delays.

For hard drives, one TB = one trillion bytes; one GB means 1 billion bytes. Actual capacity varies

with preloaded material and operating environment and will be less.
