VNX FORM FACTORS

Block Only Base

DAE = drives only

DPE = storage processors + 2.5” drives

SPE = storage processors

Drives

Add DAEs up to the maximum capacity allowed

Can mix drive types in the same DAE (e.g. 7.2K rpm + SSD + 15K rpm +NL-SAS

Can mix different DAES in a system (e.g. 15 drives, 25 drives and 60 drive DAEs)

File Only or Unified Base

Need block hardware + file hardware

• Easily upgrade to higher performance VNX platform

– No lengthy data migrations

• Cost-effective scaling:

– Conversions across the VNX family reuse installed SAS DAEs, drives, and Flex IO Modules

• Considerations

– Conversions of DPE based systems only VNX5200 to VNX 5800

– For File or Unified platform, DM blades will be required to be swapped coincident with the back-end change-out

– Small restriction on upgrade paths

• Systems with NL-SAS as vault not upgradeable if not supported

IN-FAMILY DATA-IN-PLACE CONVERSIONS EXTEND VNX INVESTMENT PROTECTION; SCALE WITH MINIMAL IMPACT

Upgrade any VNX to a more powerful VNX with data-in-place
