Product Description
The Dell M913N is a specialized controller module engineered for the Dell PowerVault MD3000i storage array, transforming it into a robust iSCSI SAN (Storage Area Network) solution. This module features two Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) ports that utilize the iSCSI protocol to present storage volumes from the MD3000i array to servers over standard IP networks. This approach offers a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional Fibre Channel SANs, leveraging existing Ethernet infrastructure. As an iSCSI RAID Controller Module, the M913N works in conjunction with the PowerVault MD3000i's internal capabilities to manage RAID configurations. While the module itself handles the iSCSI connectivity and protocol translation, the RAID processing (such as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10) is typically managed by the MD3000i's system firmware. This allows for data redundancy, fault tolerance, and performance enhancements through disk striping and parity calculations, ensuring data integrity and availability for connected servers. The M913N is crucial for environments seeking to consolidate storage and provide shared access to data across multiple servers. Its integration into the MD3000i simplifies the deployment of network-attached storage, enabling features like thin provisioning, snapshotting, and replication (depending on the MD3000i's overall feature set). The dual-port design also offers redundancy for network connectivity, enhancing the reliability of the storage access path.
