10 Chapter 1 Introduction
1.2 Benefits and Features

High-performance, low-latency iSCSI storage system, with a highly integrated, reliable,
multifunction ASIC for fully featured, integrated storage virtualization

Modular design with expansion up to 5 SATA disk drives

Easy setup and configuration – can be placed anywhere on a 10BaseT, 100BaseT, or
Gigabit Ethernet network for improved access to critical information

In-band or out-of-band management via a direct connection or the Web

Delivers Ethernet economics to storage for lower total cost of ownership and rapid
deployment using known and trusted technologies

Proven transport infrastructure for increased reliability, investment protection, and
reduced training costs

Scalability over long distances - ideal for remote data replication and disaster recovery

Two internal fans provide cooling

Battery pack ensures that a charged battery is on hand to preserve buffer cache
contents if a power failure occurs. Contents are backed up for approximately 72 hours.
1.3 System Overview
Figure 1-1 shows a typical DSN-1100 storage system configuration in a Storage Area Network
(SAN). The SAN shown is an Ethernet network used solely for exchanging data between the
customer's servers and the DSN-1100 storage system. The Ethernet bandwidth used by the
servers exchanging data with the DSN-1100 storage system can be very high. Using a
separate Ethernet to act as a SAN keeps that data from interfering with the customer's
existing LAN and improves security.
