Dell EMC Unity 600 Hybrid: Simple and Powerful Storage Solution
If you are looking for advanced features and absolute simplicity in a compact format, and if you are cost conscious and want the best the market has to offer, the Dell EMC Unity Hybrid Flash is the right choice for you. Designed with flash performance in mind, it combines the cost benefits of traditional disks with rich data services, offering an excellent balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. Ideal for mixed workloads such as databases, virtualization, and file applications, Unity Hybrid ensures that your data is always accessible and optimized.
Disk Carrier Type Support
All hybrid models support two types of disk carriers: 12×3.5” and 25×2.5”. All-flash models support only 25×2.5”. Choosing between these form factors allows you to optimize storage density and performance depending on your needs. For example, the 25×2.5” form factor is ideal for applications that require high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), while the 12×3.5” form factor offers higher capacity per drive and is better suited for archiving and mass data storage.
Each unit features two Storage Processors (SPs) at the rear, each with two configurable ports and two module slots that can support up to six different modules. This flexibility ensures that the system can be configured to meet your specific storage needs. The configurable ports can be tuned for different connection protocols, such as iSCSI, Fibre Channel or NFS, allowing for seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.
FAST and FAST VP Technology
Dell EMC Unity hybrid models are the only ones to support the technologies FAST (Fully Automated Storage Tiering) and FAST VP (Fully Automated Storage Tiering Virtual Pools), which optimize tiered storage and accessibility for frequently accessed data. FAST technology automatically moves data to the appropriate storage tier based on usage, while FAST VP is ideal for applications that are constantly active, allowing continuous data movement for performance optimization.
To illustrate, imagine a database with frequently accessed tables and less frequently accessed tables. With FAST VP, the most frequently accessed tables are automatically moved to the flash (SSD) tiers to ensure fast response times, while the least frequently accessed tables remain on the hard disk (HDD) tiers to optimize costs. This continuous optimization ensures that storage resources are utilized as efficiently as possible.
Specifications and Performance
- Format: 2U (Rack Unit) – Takes up little space in the rack, optimizing data center utilization.
- Maximum Disks: 5/1000 – Flexibility to scale storage as needed, from small deployments to large data centers.
- Maximum Gross Capacity: 16 PB (Petabytes) – Supports large volumes of data, ideal for companies with growing storage needs.
- Supported Disks: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI), NL-SAS (Near Line SAS) and Flash (SSD) – Offers a variety of disk options to balance performance and cost.
- RAID Options: 1/0, 5, 6 – Data protection with different levels of redundancy and performance. RAID 1/0 offers the best performance and redundancy, while RAID 5 and 6 offer higher storage efficiency with some redundancy.
- Maximum Memory: 256GB – Allows for fast processing of large volumes of data and improves overall system performance.
- Supported I/O Modules: Four-port SAS 12Gb/s – High-speed connectivity for efficient data transfer.
Storage Processor (SP) Details
Each SP is equipped with:
| - Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2680 12-Core 2.5 GHz – Powerful processing to handle demanding workloads. This processor ensures that the system can perform read and write operations efficiently, even under high demand. |
|---|
- Memory: 128GB DDR4 (4 x 32GB DIMMs) – High-speed memory for fast data access and optimized performance. DDR4 architecture delivers higher bandwidth and lower power consumption compared to previous generations of memory.
- Doors: 2 CNA (Converged Network Adapter) ports and 2 10GbaseT ports – Versatile connectivity for integration with different types of networks. The CNA ports support both Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI, allowing flexibility in choosing the network protocol.
I/O Modules
Each SP has two slots that support a variety of I/O module options, ensuring flexibility and expandability. Some of the supported modules include:
| - SAS 12 Gb/s Module with four ports for back-end connectivity. Used to connect the system to expansion enclosures, allowing you to increase storage capacity as needed. |
|---|
- 16 Gb/s Fiber Channel Module with four ports for integration into the SAN (Storage Area Network). Ideal for environments that require high bandwidth and low latency, such as virtualization applications and high-performance databases.
- 10 Gb/s Optical Module with four ports for high-speed Ethernet connectivity. Allows the system to connect to high-speed Ethernet networks, supporting protocols such as iSCSI and NFS.
Disk Enclosure (DAE)
O Dell EMC Unity 600 supports three different types of DAEs (Disk Array Enclosures), with a maximum of 59 DAEs or 1000 disks. This robust support ensures that the system can evolve along with the growth of your organization's storage needs. DAEs can be added in a modular fashion, allowing you to scale storage capacity without disruption.
Advanced Features
- FAST Cache: Configure flash disks as large-capacity secondary cache for system pools, significantly improving system performance. For example, by configuring an SSD as FAST Cache, frequent read operations are served from cache, reducing latency and improving application response times.
- FAST VP: Improves performance by automatically moving data to the appropriate technology based on data access patterns. This ensures that the most critical data is always stored on the fastest storage tier, optimizing overall system performance.
Standby Power Supply
Standby power support ensures that the system maintains high availability even under power failure conditions. In the event of a power outage, the system can continue to operate for a limited period, allowing data to be saved and the system to be safely shut down, preventing data loss and ensuring system integrity.
Security Considerations
Data security is a top priority. The Dell EMC Unity 600 Hybrid offers advanced security features such as Data-at-Rest Encryption (DARE) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), ensuring your data is protected from unauthorized access. Additionally, the system supports integration with external key management solutions, enabling centralized control of encryption keys.
