D-Link 8x1GbE iSCSI SAN Array, 3U - 15 bay storage unit with 8 GbE interfaces

The D-Link xStack Storage Area Network (SAN) Array DSN-3200-20 is designed to provide a reliable network data storage solution for customers in entry-level and SMB segments. Utilizing a 10Gbit iSCSI System-on-a-Chip (SoC) solution that can handle over 80,000 I/Os per second and capable of supporting 15TB raw capacity using 1TB hard drives (and even higher capacity hard drives as they are introduced), the DSN-3200-20 Array can easily be implemented as nearline storage to supplement your primary IP network storage solution or be used as a basic backup and recovery device. This evolutionary advancement in performance is a testament to the tightly integrated xStack Storage architecture and is a sharp contrast to the discrete implementation of competing products.

iSCSI for IP Networks
SAN has been traditionally reserved for Fibre Channel networks until the recent introduction of iSCSI that extends this powerful yet simple centralized backend (behind server-based) storage system to IP networks. By utilizing existing Ethernet technology, the cost associated with separate host bus adapters and the per-Gigabyte cost for storage is significantly reduced.

High Performance iSCSI Interface
The DSN-3200-20 implements eight 1GbE ports and supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Groups (LAG) for full offload capability so that all eight ports can be grouped together, totaling up to 850MB/s bandwidth, for increased throughput and redundancy.
