VNX5100 Unified Storage Family
The EMC VNX series unified storage systems deliver uncompromising scalability and flexibility for the mid-tier while providing market-leading simplicity and efficiency to minimize total cost of ownership. The VNX family (Figure 1) includes the VNX series and the VNXe series.
Figure 1. Models in the VNX family
Based on the powerful new family of Intel Xeon-5600 processors, the EMC VNX implements a modular architecture that integrates hardware components for block, file, and object with concurrent support for native NAS, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and FCoE protocols. The series delivers file (NAS) functionality via two-to-eight X-blade data movers and block (iSCI, FCoE, and FC) storage via dual storage processors leveraging full 6 Gb SAS disk drive topology. You can also start with block or file functionality and easily upgrade to unified when needed.
EMC VNX5100 Technical Specifications:
- Intel Xeon 5600 processor
- Maximum of 75 drives
- 8 GB of RAM
- RAID 0,1,10,3,5,6
- Maximum of 225 TB of raw capacity
EMC VNX5100 Details:
The VNX5100 model uses a 1.6GHz, two-core Xeon 5600 processor with 4GB of RAM and a maximum of 75 drives with the following host connectivity option: FC. This model does not accept any UltraFlex I/O modules and, as such, only supports four Fibre Channel onboard ports for host connectivity. Note – The systems ship with only 2 SFPs per SP in mezzanine ports 2-3.
This model uses a DPE that is available in 15 x 3.5″ drive or 25 x 2.5″ drive form factors. Seen in Figures 2 and 3 respectively. It includes four onboard 8Gb/s Fibre Channel ports and two 6Gb/s SAS ports for backend connectivity on each storage processor. A micro-DB9 port and service LAN port are available. EMC service personnel use these ports to connect to the VNX.
