8 Dell PowerVault ME5 Storage System Best Practices | H19551
The PowerVault ME5 (ME5) models referenced in this paper include PowerVault ME5012, ME5024 and ME5084.
ME5 brings the essential features and data services of mid-to-high end storage to small-medium businesses (SMBs).
ME5 unleashes substantial performance, capacity and bandwidth gains over its predecessor system without compromising simplicity, features or business outcomes. Designed to meet several SMB data storage challenges, ME5 reduces complexity, drives more performance, supports higher capacity, ensures data protection and achieves budget stability when supporting a diverse SMB workload and application environment.
Designed with dual-active controllers, multi-core processing and five-9’s availability, ME5 arrays deliver the performance of flash with the best economics of disk making it an ideal solution for SMB high-value workloads.
Using fast Intel Xeon processors, ME5 storage implements a dual-active controller architecture and delivers, 12GB/sec read and 10GB/sec write throughput and provides a 12Gb SAS backend protocol for rapid capacity expansion.
ME5 Series storage implements a block architecture with VMware virtualization integration and concurrent support for native iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and SAS protocols. Additional storage capacity is added via Disk Array Enclosures (DAEs) while Distributed RAID (ADAPT) software delivers faster drive re-build times. And all ME5 Series arrays are managed by an integrated HTML5 web-based GUI – PowerVault Manager.
The two non-dense ME5 base arrays are 2U models and the dense ME5 array is a 5U model. Both models include dual controllers with, 16GB cache memory per controller.
Supported Front-end protocol options per controller are;
• 4x10Gb iSCSI Base-T
• 4x 10/25Gbit iSCSI
• 4x12Gb SAS
• 4x16/32Gbit FC
