Product Details
DSN-1100-10 - D-Link DSN-1100-10 5-Bay iSCSI SAN Enclosure 4x1GbE
The DSN-1100 features five hot swappable Serial ATA (SATA) disk drive bays supporting 5TB raw capacity using 1TB hard drives (and even higher capacity hard drives as they are introduced) in RAID level 0, 1, 1+0 and 5 configurations. You can quickly deploy a SAN using inexpensive SATA disk drives and, depending on your growing storage needs, you can simply add more drives as you go. The DSN-1100 implements four Gigabit Ethernet ports that support IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation for full offload capability. This allows all four ports to be grouped together for up to 425MB/s bandwidth, increasing throughput and redundancy.
The D-Link DSN-1100-10 4x1GbE iSCSI SAN Enclosure provides an entry-level, value-oriented solution for SMB customers. The heart of the DSN-1100 is based on a powerful System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design usually found in larger arrays, but housed in a small chassis. Utilising a 10 Gbit iSCSI SoC solution that can handle over 80,000 I/Os per second, the DSN-1100 is capable of supporting 5TBs of raw capacity using 1TB hard drives (and even higher capacity hard drives as they are introduced). The DSN-1100 can easily be implemented as nearline storage or as a supplement to your primary backup and recovery device. The SoC solution combines 10 Gbps iSCSI, TCP & IP offload, embedded processors, and storage virtualization firmware onto a single chip. The tight integration of these functions eliminates interoperability, timing, and support issues found in competitive products that offer “discrete implementation” wherein all the various components are chosen separately and then assembled. The DSN-1100 outperforms these discrete implementations and does so at a lower price point, while delivering mission-critical data quickly with state-of-the-art reliability.
