2.4 N3220 model details

This section describes the N series 3220 models.

2.4.1 N3220 model 2857-A12

N3220 Model A12 is a single-node storage controller. It is designed to provide HTTP, iSCSI,
NFS, CIFS, and FCP support through optional features. Model A12 is a 2U storage controller
that must be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. Model A12 can be upgraded to a Model
A22. However, this is a disruptive upgrade.

2.4.2 N3220 model 2857-A22

N3320 Model A22 is designed to provide identical functions as the single-node Model A12.
However, it has a second Processor Control Module and the CFO licensed function. Model
A22 consists of two Processor Control Modules that are designed to provide failover and
failback function, which helps improve overall availability. Model A22 is a 2U rack-mountable
storage controller.
