Rapid Response Support
Applications
The optimised Input/Output Operations
per second and unparalleled throughput
are capable of providing run-time critical
online services, such as Cloud storage, SQL,
Exchange, and high-end surveillance storage.
Furthermore, with its iSCSI interface, D-Links
DSN-6000 Series is ideal for virtualisation
environments - VMWare, Hyper-V, and Citrix.
System administrators can install up to 32
Operating Systems onto the iSCSI system
through the Boot-from-SAN functionality.
With this feature, the multiple Operating
Systems/Servers can be easily managed
and protected by D-Link advanced data
protection features, avoiding system
downtime caused by single points of failure.
Expansion Options
The capacity of the DSN-6000 Series storage
arrays can be easily expanded with the
addition of the DSN-6020 Expansion Enclosure,
which supports up to 12 SAS and SATA hard
drives. Up to 4 DSN-6020 enclosures can be
mounted in a storage array to expand the
overall capacity to 180TB, and even higher
capacity as larger hard drives are introduced.
Green Energy Savings
The DSN-6000 Series is equipped with
D-Link Green features for saving power.
A hard drive can be a very power-hungry
component in a SAN. When properly
configured, the power consumption of hard
drives can be reduced to a minimum using
the auto disk spin down feature. The DSN-
6000 Series systems monitor environmental
temperatures to optimise the cooling
mechanism. The fan modules respond only
when needed. The power supply modules
are all 80 PLUS power efficient, providing a
more favorable power conversion rate. When
combined, these power-saving features help
to greatly reduce energy consumption and
increase the product’s lifespan.
SATA Bridge Board (DSN-654)
The SAS to SATA bridge board is designed to
enable single-ported SATA drives to connect
seamlessly like native dual-ported SAS drives.
