Product Description Dell PowerEdge FD332 CTO Storage Block Server
A half-width storage block, the Dell PowerEdge FD332 provides up to 48 direct-attached small form factor (SFF) storage devices in an FX2 chassis, enabling dense, highly flexible and scalable computing solutions.
The FX architecture brings greater flexibility and density to data center infrastructures with relatively “small” blocks that allow you to incrementally add resources and tailor an infrastructure optimized for specific workloads. The Dell PowerEdge FD332 CTO Storage Block delivers on the storage component of the FX promise.
With up to 16 devices on each FD332, you can flexibly provision up to 48 SFF storage devices in a 2U FX2 chassis. (This example leaves a half-width slot to house a PowerEdge FC640 for processing.) The flexibility provided by the modular components of the FX architecture results in 2U rack computing with massive direct attached storage (DAS) capacity, enabling pay-as-you-go growth in the IT model.
FX servers can be connected to a single FD332 or multiple FD332s and can be connected to all 16 devices in the block or, when using dual RAID controllers, split access and connect to eight devices separately. Therefore, you can combine FX servers and storage in a wide variety of configurations to meet specific processing needs. In addition, the software can be employed to bundle storage attached to multiple controllers or FD332s on FX servers. With the latest support for Dell EMC HBA330, VMware vSAN environments support FX2 and FD332.
Each FD332 accommodates up to 16 hot-plug SAS or SATA drives (SSD/HDD) in a side-loading front removable drive bay sleeve. The units can be repaired independently while the FX2 chassis is in operation.
Intuitive system management with intelligent automation
The Dell OpenManage systems management portfolio simplifies and automates server lifecycle management – making IT operations more efficient and Dell servers more productive, reliable and cost-effective. The agentless integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller makes server deployment, configuration and upgrades automated and efficient. Because the FD332 is direct-attached storage, it is monitored by iDRAC – just like any DAS storage on any PowerEdge server. Using the Chassis Management Controller (CMC), an integrated component that is part of all FX2 chassis, you will have the option to manage the components individually or collectively through its browser-based interface. CMC gives the administrator the option to connect one or two controllers on the FD332 to one or two hosts.
Heavy workloads, not a problem
The FD332’s flexibility and scalability allow it to extend customer environments from traditional IT to edge service providers. The FD332 is an excellent choice for enabling dense virtual SAN clusters by combining compute and storage blocks. It can also help consolidate applications such as Hadoop that require high-performance, low-cost scale-out storage. It is also ideal for centralized database-based software that needs scaling and scaling capacity. With support for HBA330, the FD332 is vSAN-ready, enabling high-performance operations and available in single or dual configurations. The FD332 can support Microsoft Windows Spaces Direct, with certification coming in the near future.
