Feature | Description |
---|---|
Space reduction | The deduplication engine provides up to 100 times reduction in storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar levels of bandwidth reduction. |
Scalable architecture |
Due to fingerprinting and RAID redundancy, the overall storage capabilities are not a simple multiplication of the disk size and the total number of disks. |
High availability | Supports the redundant hot-swappable disks and power modules. |
Easy management | Provides separate out-of-band management network interfaces. You can remotely turn on, turn off, and reset appliances through the network. Supports remotely configuring and managing the appliances through KVM over IP. Supports the SNMP traps and automatically reports alarms. Supports reporting the disk information through the out-of-band management channel. |
System memory configuration (DIMMS) | 64 GB, up to a maximum of 192 GBs Note: You can purchase additional 64-GB memory kits to maximize the amount of memory in the NetBackup 5230 Appliance. You can also use the memory kits to increase the appliance memory when you add an optional storage shelf to the system. |
RAID levels | RAID 1 (standard mirroring) and RAID 6 (block level striping with double distributed parity) are used as follows:
Note: The disk drives in the appliance are pre-formatted before the appliance is shipped. These drives should not be moved into different slots or otherwise rearranged. |
Performance and capacity |
|
Fibre Channel support | The NetBackup 5230 appliance can be ordered with up to five FC HBA cards preinstalled. A 10Gb Ethernet card can also be ordered and preinstalled. |
Rear panel ports | Two SAS ports that connect to the storage shelf One 1 Gb/s IPMI remote management network port One VGA port Three USB 2.0 ports Four 1Gb Ethernet network ports, each with link and activity LEDs. Two 10Gb Ethernet network ports, each with link and activity LEDs. These ports support fiber cabling and copper cabling. Two 10GBASE-SR (Short Range) SFP+ transceivers ship with each server. The customer can use these connectors. Alternately, customers can provide 10GBASE-LR (Long Range) transceivers or twin-ax copper cables depending on their network environment. Contact Technical Support for more information. The appliance can be ordered with several combinations of SAS RAID cards, Fibre Channel cards, and 10Gb Ethernet cards installed. |
The technical specification section contains dimensions and weights for both types of devices.
