Transition Guide for PowerVault MD3200i and MD3220i Series Arrays

Dell Scalable File System is essentially a distributed file system, with

volume management, cluster management for transparent failover, and

non-disruptive scalability. Its interconnect technology delivers virtually

unlimited scalability for both performance and capacity, independent

of each other. DSFS uses cache efficiently to provide fast, highly

reliable reads and writes. Overall, DSFS is designed to optimize file

access performance and hardware utilization while eliminating the

capacity constraints of Windows-based file systems.

Because it can store block, CIFS, and NFS protocol data on the same

hardware without the constraints of traditional Unified Storage, the

PowerVault NX3500 is a flexible and practical alternative to Windows

file servers. And, it features a comprehensive and intuitive file

management system that can help you reduce the time it takes to

create and manage multiple volumes and shares.

2. PowerVault NX3500 Clustered Solution

The PowerVault NX3500 is deployed as a clustered NAS solution that

aggregates multiple storage controllers and presents a NAS storage pool

to UNIX, Linux and Windows clients as one virtual file server. This is an

enterprise-class storage solution, optimal for a wide range of

applications and deployment environments.
