Spec Sheet

the iSCSI protocol years ago and offers with the new
E2800 product line a high-end product for the video
surveillance market.
DSA E2800 in single or dual controller configuration
allows connecting up to seven 12-bay expansion units
(12 x HDDs per expansion shelf) to one single or dual
controller base unit.
It is a fully featured RAID protected disk array which
provides RAID‑5 protection for capacity-oriented
environments and RAID‑6 protection for availability-
oriented environments. The RAID protection is based
on a hardware RAID implementation for highest
system performance. RAID‑6 is highly recommended if
the system will be used with a larger number of disk
shelf expansion units.
High reliability and availability
DSA E2800 keeps your data safe and available with
redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans,
and protects from double-disk failure and single bit
errors during RAID rebuilds with high performance
RAID‑6.
It is also prepared for use of Dynamic Disk Pools,
which allow for very low rebuilt times.
With over 20 years of storage development experience,
DSA E‑Series is based on a field-proven design
architected to provide high reliability and availability.
Its redundant components, automated path failover,
and online administration keep organizations
productive 24 x 7 x 365.
Further high-availability features include:
• Automatic drive failover and detection and rebuild if
using global hot spare drives
• Data cache with battery backup and de-stage to flash
• SANtricity proactive drive health monitoring
identifies problem drives before they create issues
Monitoring
Full SNMP support with MIB‑II and NetApp custom
MIBs supported. In case of component failures SNMP,
e-mail alert notifications will be generated.
Additionally, an event monitor for sending alert
notifications to a central major event log is available.
If the device is connected to the Internet/Intranet
automatically generated AutoSupport messages can
be sent. AutoSupport enhances customer service,
speeds problem resolution, and helps prevent issues.
It automatically sends alerts based on either event-
based or time-based (weekly, daily, other) criteria to
provide faster and better customer service, keeping
your systems up and running longer.
Management
NetApp SANtricity storage management software
combines robustness and ease of use. Full-time
storage administrators appreciate the extensive
configuration flexibility which allows optimal
performance tuning and complete control over data
placement. Part-time system administrators love the
intuitive interface and wizards designed to simplify
their tasks. With its dynamic capabilities, SANtricity
software supports on-the-fly expansion,
reconfiguration, and maintenance without interrupting
storage system I/O.

Installation/configuration notes
Bosch provides the necessary software tools for an
initial setup of the storage in a video surveillance
environment. In addition, the system provides web
based configuration and a powerful Command Line
Interface (CLI) which is fully remote accessible by SSH
(Secure Shell).
DSA E‑Series offers per controller a serial console
connector and 2 dedicated Ethernet management
ports for management access, 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet
iSCSI host ports, and 2 additional optical iSCSI ports.
Each port must be configured with a separate IP
address; the 4 iSCSI ports are separated access paths
to the storage system and represent an individual
iSCSI target each.
In dual controller systems the iSCSI ports with the
same number are tied together for redundancy
purpose, while one of the ports is a fall-back path for
an iSCSI port on the other controller.
The net capacity available is shown in the following
tables:

Performance data per controller unit in a 10 Gbit/s
network (in a 1 Gbit/s network the available network
bandwidth is the limiting factor):
