Product Description
The Dell POWERVAULTMD1120 is a robust 2U rackmount storage enclosure designed to significantly expand the storage capacity of Dell PowerEdge servers. As a Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) solution, it connects directly to a host server via a SAS interface, typically managed by a Dell PERC (PowerEdge RAID Controller) card installed in the server. This enclosure is ideal for organizations that require substantial storage for data-intensive applications, large databases, backup solutions, or archival purposes. This storage enclosure features 12 drive bays, each capable of accommodating 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives. The support for both SAS and SATA drives offers flexibility in choosing between performance and cost-effectiveness. All drives are hot-swappable, allowing for the addition or replacement of drives without powering down the enclosure or the connected server, thereby ensuring continuous data availability and simplifying maintenance. Built for reliability in enterprise environments, the PowerVault MD1120 includes redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans. This dual-redundancy ensures that the storage system remains operational even if a power supply unit or fan fails. The 2U form factor allows for efficient use of rack space, making it a practical choice for data centers looking to consolidate and expand their storage infrastructure. The MD1120 provides a scalable and cost-effective way to increase storage capacity without the complexity of a full network-attached storage (NAS) or storage area network (SAN) solution.
