Benefits:
Scalable and efficient expansion for block and file storage
Dell Compellent offers customers an agile, high-performance storage platform that delivers ongoing economic value. With its open, scalable hardware platform, Compellent allows you to intermix the latest industry-standard drive technologies in the same array with the energy-efficient SC200 and SC220 expansion enclosures. You can also introduce new and emerging technologies over time and on the fly to support your SAN and NAS environments and scale up and out on demand without disruption or downtime.
Scale on a single, modular hardware platform
Easily add capacity to your Dell Compellent Storage Center™ SAN and NAS environments with flexible and efficient SC200 and SC220 enclosures that offer performance and capacity options to meet your data center requirements. With Dell Compellent drives and enclosures, your organization can start with any amount of storage capacity and expand over time — from terabytes to nearly 2PB — only replacing components for new technology upgrades. You can easily combine drive and enclosure technologies to build a storage solution that optimizes capacity for maximum efficiency with a minimal footprint. Incorporating new technologies is as simple as plugging in new components. Plus, with the 2U 6Gb SAS SC200 and SC220 expansion enclosures, you can seamlessly scale your Dell Compellent Storage Center capacity, and build a complete end-to-end Dell hardware solution that can support up to 960 back-end SAS drives per system.
Select the right enclosures for your environment
The SC200 supports a combination of up to 12 hot-pluggable 3.5" SAS HDDs and SSDs, and can yield a total of 48TB raw capacity per enclosure with 4TB drives. The SC220 supports up to 24 hot-pluggable 2.5" drives with 38.4TB raw maximum capacity per expansion enclosure with the 1.6TB SSD. The SC220 also supports Flash-optimized solutions using both hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs). Each drive bay within the SC200 and SC220 can be individually configured for speed and capacity.
Help lower power requirements with redundant, hot-swappable 80 PLUS® Silver-certified power supplies, and better protect your data with the cost-efficient Fresh Air technology supported by the SC200 and SC220 enclosures. For high-capacity requirements, Compellent also offers the SC280 dense enclosure.
