Networked Storage

Dell™ storage area network (SAN) arrays are optimized to work with our blade servers. We offer a wide range of connection options — from host adapters on the blades to full switches installed in the chassis — for these technologies:

  • Internet SCSI (iSCSI)
    iSCSI passes data storage communication over high-speed Ethernet connections. It's most appropriate for smaller and low I/O (input/output) environments, and for environments that have not yet deployed Fibre Channel.
  • Fibre Channel
    Fibre Channel is a high-speed storage networking technology most appropriate for environments requiring very high I/O performance.

We also offer comprehensive networked backup and archiving solutions, including disk and tape backup and tape automation products. These vital components protect your most important IT asset — your data.
