Connectivity
Two 10GBASE-T Ethernet ports per controller
MD34x0 and MD38x0x controllers are not compatible with the older generation arrays (MD32x0x and MD36x0x).
Single Controller Models
MD3800i and MD3820i: Support up to 64 servers when configured with 10Gb iSCSI. Available with 4GB cache controllers.
Dual Controller Models
MD3800i, MD3820i, MD3860i: Support up to 64 servers when configured with 10Gb iSCSI. Available with option of 4GB or 8GB cache controllers.
Controller features:
Each controller contains 4GB or 8GB of battery-backed cache
Dual controllers operate in an active-active environment mirroring each other’s cache
Cache protection is provided via flash memory for permanent data protection
Dynamic Disk Pools* (DDP) eliminates the need for complex RAID management while optimizing data protection, and can be used with existing RAID configurations
Dual controllers required for the MD3860i dense arrays
