2.8 Eliminate the expense of managing separate systems
DSM provides comprehensive monitoring and management of all local and remote SC Series arrays. Easy-to-
use data replication and migration between platforms gives PS Series customers flexibility to add SC arrays
to their environment when desired.
DSM streamlines SAN administration and reduces operating costs with advanced features like volume-level
QoS, vVols support, and departmental charge-back reporting. PowerShell and REST management APIs allow
integrating the SC7020 into business workflows.
2.9 SC Series expansion enclosures
Supporting up to 500 total drives and 3 PB raw capacity in a single array, the SC7020 array offers five
supported expansion enclosures that can be mixed and matched depending on specific performance, cost, or
density needs.
Options are available for ultra-dense enclosures (84 drives in 5U) with the SC280 and high-performance
12Gb SAS SC400 and SC420 enclosures. Adding a new enclosure is simple — the new drives can be
automatically assimilated into the existing virtualized pool or set up as their own standalone pool. Data-in-
place upgrades make it easy to change controllers and other key components, or migrate from legacy SC
Series arrays.
See the SC Series expansion enclosure data sheet for more details.
