N series Highlights
Ease of installation—offers installation tools designed to help simplify installation and setup
Increased Access—allows heterogeneous access to IP attached storage and fibre channel
attached storage subsystems
Operating System—optimized and finely tuned for storing and sharing data assets, designing
to enable greater efficiency within your organization and help lower total cost of ownership
through improved efficiency and productivity
Flexibility—enables cross-platform data access for Microsoft Windows,UNIX and Linux envi-
ronments that can help reduce network complexity and expense, and allow data to be shared
across the organization
Network Attached Storage (NAS)—Supports Network File System (NFS),Common Internet File
System (CIFS) protocols for attachment to Microsoft Windows,UNIX and Linux systems
IP SAN—supports Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) protocols for IP SAN
attached to a multitude of host servers including Microsoft Windows,Linux, and UNIX systems
FC SAN—supports fibre channel protocols (FCP) for accommodating attachment and partici-
pation in fibre channel SAN environments
Scalability—supports non-disruptive capacity increases as well as thin-provisioning (dynami-
cally allow the increase and decrease of user capacity assignments).Allows you to scale your
storage infrastructure to keep pace with company growth
Designed to maintain availability and productivity during upgrades
Manageability—includes integrated system diagnostics and management tools, which are
designed to help minimize downtime
Redundancy—several redundancy and hot-swappable features provide the highest system
availability characteristics
Copy Services—provides extensive outboard services that help recover data in disaster
recovery environments
NearStore (near-line) Feature—SATA drive technology enables on-line and quick access to
archived and non-intensive transactional data
WORM data protection—software and hardware features that offer non-erasable and non-
rewritable data protection to meet the industry’s highest regulatory requirements for retaining
company data assets
NOTES:
*Systems are based on dual clustered storage controllers.Divide all numbers by
1
/

if a single storage
controller system is ordered.
A single controller can be easily upgraded to a dual controller system as your computing needs increase.
The dual controller is a fully redundant system and is designed to provide failover and failback
capabilities.
