Earlier this year, QSAN launched its first All-Flash SAN with the QSAN XCubeFAS XF2026D. As opposed to being a update to QSAN’s XCubeSAN line, the XCubeFAS XF2026D is an all new SAN product. The product is built on the foundations of being user-friendly, can be deployed and integrated into any environment, and is affordable regardless

The Dell EMC VxRail family of appliances are hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) underpinned by VMware vSAN. VxRail has long been the lead product when VMware talks about vSAN, as the concept of deploying and managing the VxRail appliance is appealing to many. Of course, Dell EMC and others sell vSAN Ready Nodes for those who want a little

Dell EMC VxRail系列产品是采用VMware vSAN技术的超融合式基础架构(HCI)。由于很多人对VxRail设备部署和管理都很感兴趣，因此，在VMware谈论vSAN时，VxRail长期以来都是龙头产品。当然，戴尔易安信和其他厂商也会向那些想要增强服务器配置控制的用户出售vSAN就绪节点。VxRail不是第一次到实验室进行测试，在2017年初戴尔易安信推出简化部署和严格兼容性测试等功能时，我们就写过关于这些功能的文章。自那时以来，很多功能都已经发生了变化；主要的一点是，戴尔易安信已从白盒服务器迁移到了PowerEdge服务器。这并不是无足轻重的改变，主要是因为PowerEdge服务器能够带来更多能让VxRail设备受益的管理和可靠性功能。在讨论VxRail设备和就绪节点或选择自己的选项时，此举进一步增强了戴尔易安信/VMware的价值主张。

CloudIQ is a free, cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) solution that allows customers to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot Dell EMC’s storage systems (Unity, SC Series, XtremIO, and PowerMax/VMAX) with a HTML5 browser. Since its release in 2016, Dell EMC has steadily been adding improvements and features to CloudIQ to make it an actionable service

Dell’s Precision 3930 Rack is a powerful, unintrusive 1U workstation that provides extreme performance with an affordable pricing model. The unit’s short and narrow design allows users to maximize their workspace by tucking the Precision 3930 away in a server room, keeping the work area quiet and uncluttered. It is also an integrable device into

The Liqid Element AIC is an extreme performance, high capacity PCIe SSD, incorporating four m.2 NVMe SSDs and a PCIe switch in a HHHL package. It is designed to handle performance-demanding workloads and offer full compatibility with existing systems that support NVMe devices. Available in the half-height half-length standard form factor, the Element sports a

The Memblaze PBlaze5 910 is a high-performing NVMe SSD designed to significantly enhance application performance. Equipped with 64-layer 3D NAND, the PBlaze5 features massive single-disk capacity up to 15.36TB, which is 40% more than previous models. Memblaze indicates that this will allow their new SSD to increase rack density in storage server applications, saving space

The Dell EMC SC5020 fits with Dell EMC’s midrange storage portfolio and is available in a range of configurations including HDD, SSD and hybrid. Billed as a flexible workhorse for SMBs, the SC5020 doesn’t drop features/functionality to be price competitive. In fact, in terms of capabilities, the SC5020 is on par with the all-flash SC9000 we reviewed last year.

戴尔易安信SC5020很适合戴尔易安信的中端存储产品定位，并提供多种配置，包括硬盘，固态硬盘和混合硬盘。SC5020被称为中小企业的灵活主力军，它不会为了具有价格竞争力而放弃功能性。实际上，就功能而言，SC5020与我们去年测评的全闪存SC9000实力相当 。它们之间的差异主要在于高端性能规格，因为SC9000在控制器中具有更多的RAM和CPU，因此将具有更高的性能阈值。就其本身而言，SC5020使用3U机箱，带有两个活动/活动配置的热插拔控制器和30个2.5英寸驱动器托架。该系统可以通过附加的驱动器扩展架进行扩展，能支持额外192个驱动器，使SC5020的最大原始容量超过2PB。
