5 Best Practices for Securing Dell EMC SC Series Storage | BP1082
2 SC Series SAN
The SC Series includes high performance, enterprise-level SAN devices that support Fibre Channel (FC),
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and iSCSI connections. They provide fast, network-based storage to
servers.
An SC Series SAN consists of at least one controller and disk enclosure interconnected with SAS, or Fibre
Channel in some legacy SC Series systems. For more advanced storage-administration capabilities, the Dell
Storage Manager (DSM), formerly Enterprise Manager, application may be used to administer multiple SC
Series SANs. DSM and the associated Data Collector service run on a separate server on the same
management network as the SC Series storage. Storage administrators use this management network to
access and administer DSM and each SC Series system.
In addition to the management network, each SC Series array is connected to a SAN consisting of the SC
Series front-end adapters and the FC, FCoE, or iSCSI initiators of the host servers.
