Product Positioning
As the next generation of PowerVault SAN storage, the MD3200i series replaces the MD3000i in the product
portfolio. The MD3200i series is positioned above the MD3200 series because of the network connectivity
and the increased number of hosts supported by the products. Because the MD3200i and MD3200 shares a
common controller architecture, both products are similar when it comes to features and functions with
the main difference being the MD3200i products are purpose-built IP SAN arrays.
