Dell San Portfolio - Dell PowerVault MD3200i Series Manual

Transition Guide for PowerVault MD3200i and MD3220i Series Arrays
The MD3200i series is positioned as an entry-level SAN array targeted at small and medium sized
businesses, public education and local governments that have a need for networked storage but lack the
financial resources to invest in a Fibre Channel SAN. The MD3200i series can also be an ideal storage
solution for larger organizations that require a lower cost networked storage solution that can be deployed
in remote/departmental locations or as a second tier SAN in a more centralized location to provide storage
for servers whose application value doesn't justify the higher cost of connecting to a Fibre Channel SAN.
The MD3200i series is mostly a PowerEdge-centric storage solution although it can support heterogeneous
x86 servers. The MD3200i series enjoys common hard disk drives with the servers and capacity expansion via
the MD1200 and MD1220 drive enclosures.
