10 GbE Unified Storage Goes Mainstream
The DH200 sets the new standard in IP storage for growing enterprises by uniting 10 Gigabit Ethernet, tiered storage, and SAN and NAS in one simple, elegant, and efficient system. With 10 GbE adoption accelerating, the DH200 brings 10 GbE storage mainstream with quad load-balanced 10 GbE ports and dual SAS expansion links. FlexScale technology enables up to 84 SATA, SAS, and SSD drives to be integrated side-by-side, providing optimal storage tiers for any application on one system. With the all-inclusive HALO software, the DH200 provides enterprise-grade data protection including snapshots, clones, synchronous mirroring, and asynchronous replication, at no additional cost. The DH200’s versatility enables organizations to reduce storage expenditures by 60% by retiring single-purpose arrays, eliminating software fees, and reducing energy, administration, and capacity costs.

Unified iSCSI SAN and NAS for Simple IT Operations
The DH200 offers unified iSCSI SAN and NAS (NFS and CIFS) protocol support, seamlessly presented on one system with one intuitive interface. iSCSI-only alternatives force you to purchase isolated NAS gateways that increase cost and complexity. With the DH200, enterprises can centralize more data on one system, increasing efficiency and eliminating unnecessary storage hardware and software purchases.
SATA, SAS, and SSD Drives for Unmatched Tiered Storage
The DH200 can be expanded with any blend of SATA, SAS, and SSD drives, even within the same enclosure, to efficiently optimize storage based on speed, density, power, and cost. Built-in storage virtualization with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and JBOD support allows IT administrators to create flexible pools, assigning mission-critical applications to premium SAS or SSD storage and nearline and archival storage requirements to high-density, low-power SATA tiers.
Next-generation Architecture for Scalability & Speed
The DH200 combines 10 Gigabit Ethernet and SAS to deliver 7 times more bandwidth than clustered iSCSI arrays. The FlexScale architecture isolates server-to-storage traffic from the LAN onto a low-latency SAS interconnect, eliminating oversubscription and bottlenecks common in Gigabit-based iSCSI arrays and enabling applications to run at their peak. The two SAS links support up to six SM120 expansion modules for growth up to 84 TB. Policy-based caching with 4 GB of dedicated cache accelerate storage response time and maximize cache hits for the most performance-critical applications.
10 Gigabit Ethernet for Superior Virtualization
Successful virtual computing with VMware ESX, Xen, and Microsoft Hyper-V demands 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Dozens of virtual machines can quickly overload a Gigabit-based iSCSI array, forcing users to trunk ports (increasing complexity), purchase more storage nodes (increasing cost), or scale back consolidation plans (reducing efficiency). The DH200's quad 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports offer redundant, high-bandwidth storage networking that can support dozens of servers and hundreds of virtual machines on one system. With 10 GbE now just ¼ the cost of Fibre Channel, enterprises can multiply application performance while retaining the familiarity of Ethernet networking.
All-inclusive Easy-to-use Software and Quick Setup
Powered by Nimbus’ comprehensive HALO storage operating system, the DH200 provides robust data protection and capacity provisioning with the simplicity of Web-based management. Integrated features include point-in-time snapshots, synchronous mirroring, asynchronous and continuous remote replication, volume cloning, and automatic storage health monitoring, without the cost and headaches of incremental license fees. Advanced reporting tools provide email and SNMP notification, real-time gauges and historical charts of key metrics, and self-healing capabilities.
FlexScale Architecture for Cost-correct Expansion
The DH200, with FlexScale technology, makes storage expansion affordable. Unlike clustered iSCSI arrays, which require purchasing completely new systems just to add capacity, the DH200 scales using fully-redundant storage expansion modules (SEMs) that leverage the system's impressive bandwidth and processing power. This reduces cost per TB as more storage is added while increasing performance with more spindles or solid state drives.
Green Technology and Full Fault-tolerance Features
The DH200 meets new green computing standards by consuming up to 70% less power – as low as 19 watts per TB of data managed – than separate SAN and NAS devices or clustered storage arrays. With 80% fewer components and 30% lower operating temperature than traditional arrays, the DH200 generates less heat and vibration, reducing energy costs and improving drive reliability. Redundant power supplies, fans, 10 GbE controllers, and software boot images are standard. |
