D-Link’s volume virtualization technology utilizes the concept of storage
extents, which are the fundamental building blocks used to enable
features such as RAID, online capacity expansion, volume reconfiguration
and migration. Each disk drive can contain multiple and divergent RAID
configurations instead of requiring dedication to a single RAID set. This
technology allows for the support of mixed disk drive capacities for volume
creation. Volume capacity expansion, volume reconfiguration, and RAID level
migration are performed online with minimal impact to users. Users can
quickly deploy a SAN using inexpensive SAS or SATA disk drives and simply
add more drives as needed.
An iSCSI SAN array can prove to be a valuable tool to supplement a network
storage foundation. Whether providing a low-cost block-based solution for data
backup and recovery, replacement of Direct Attached Storage (DAS), providing
secondary online storage, or providing up to 850MB/s bandwidth for security
surveillance and video post-production applications, the DSN-4000 series may
provide the performance and functionality needed.
