VNX5700 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 VNX5700 Technical Specifications:
- Intel Xeon 5600 quad-core processor
- Maximum of 500 drives
- 36 GB of RAM
- RAID 0,1,10,3,5,6
- Maximum of 1,485 TB of raw capacity
EMC VNX5700 Details:
The VNX5700 model uses a 2.4GHz, quad-core Xeon 5600 processor with 18GB of RAM and a maximum of 500 drives with the following host connectivity option: FC, iSCSI, and FCoE. The VNX5700 is designed for the high-end, mid-capacity space. This model provides either block and file services, file only, or block only, and uses a SPE form factor.
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.
