Dell KK95M Equallogic iSCSI Storage Controller

Product Description

The Dell KK95M is a dedicated iSCSI controller engineered for Dell's Equallogic storage systems. It plays a pivotal role in delivering high-speed, block-level storage access over standard Ethernet networks. This controller is fundamental to the architecture of Equallogic arrays, providing the intelligence and connectivity required for robust and scalable storage solutions. By leveraging the iSCSI protocol, the KK95M allows servers to connect to storage resources remotely, treating them as local disks. This simplifies network design and reduces the complexity and cost associated with traditional storage area networks. The controller is optimized for performance, ensuring low latency and high throughput, which are critical for virtualized environments, databases, and other performance-sensitive applications. This component is designed to work within a redundant configuration, often paired with another controller in an Equallogic array to ensure high availability and fault tolerance. It supports various advanced storage functionalities, including data replication, snapshots, and thin provisioning, contributing to efficient data management and protection strategies. The KK95M is a testament to Dell's commitment to providing powerful and flexible storage solutions for the enterprise.
