Description

The EMC SAE-DUAL-CTRL is a Storage Array Enclosure (SAE) designed as an expansion unit for the EMC VNX5300 unified storage system. This specific configuration emphasizes high availability and scalability, featuring twenty-five bays for Small Form Factor (SFF) drives, which are typically 2.5-inch SAS or NL-SAS hard drives or SSDs. The SFF design allows for a denser storage footprint, enabling more capacity within a standard rack unit. Central to the 'DUAL-CTRL' designation are the two integrated storage controllers. These controllers manage the data flow between the VNX5300 host system and the drives within the enclosure, providing essential functions like data protection, performance optimization, and high availability. The dual-controller setup ensures that the storage remains accessible even in the event of a single controller failure, a critical requirement for business-critical applications and data. Furthermore, the inclusion of two redundant power supply units (PSUs) reinforces the high-availability design of this expansion array. If one PSU fails, the other takes over seamlessly, preventing any interruption to storage operations. The SAE-DUAL-CTRL provides a robust and scalable solution for organizations needing to increase their storage capacity while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and performance for their VNX5300 environment.
