Product Features
All Flash Storage with M Series NEC Storage
Stable and Fast performance
The best tuning to maximize SSD performance achieves a fast and stable response. A large amount of cache memory guarantees high I / O performance to access frequently used data. Through these features, this model achieves a faster processing speed up to 100 times more than the current model (*) that contains an equal number of HDDs.
* compared with the existing NEC Storage M310.
Virtualization with M Series NEC Storage
Uncomplicated management of individual Virtual Machines (VM) and Virtual Desktops (VDI) in VMware environment
VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes (VVOL feature is supported in M Series that enables storage features such as backup, restore, snapshot, and Quality of Service (QoS) to be performed at VVOL level.
Ensure business performance by automatic SLA optimization
M series can control I / O flow by setting I / O threshold limits for each logical disk. Unlike many others, the M series allows both minimum and maximum thresholds to be used. It allows allocation of storage resources to some extent for normal priority applications, while priority tasks receive resources in a preferential manner. M series stability of the entire system processes, allowing you to meet Service Level Agreements that require quality assurance service.
Stable performance can be assured by Cache partitioning in virtualization environment
By doing the partitions of cache memory and allocating them to the tasks, cache memory can be used by each task without interfering each other.
Expand capability and performance simply by adding drives using an Advanced Dynamic Pool
M-Series provides Advanced Dynamic Pool that allows storage managers to simply increase the capacity of pool by adding drives without disturbance. It also automatically optimizes data across the pool to improve performance.
Thin provisioning with capacity virtualization to minimize storage cost
Thin provisioning makes logical volumes virtual so that maximum storage investment efficiency can be achieved. It allows logical volumes to be oversubscribed, making the logical volume look like as it has more physical resources than actually in the system. When the physical capacity is insufficient, new physical capacity can be added to the virtual volume without disturbance. Thin provisioning allows for lower initial investment cost and lower energy costs.
Business Continuity with NEC Storage M Series
Non-disruptive backup without affecting online business processes
This is extremely inefficient to stop your business volume every day to make backup of big data. M Series Disk Array offers a snapshot function to save only the data partitions that have changed (update variations) function to completely replicate (copy) the entire data volume without disrupting processes. The replication volume can then be used for tape backup or batch processing, or to evaluate applications using actual data.
Disaster prevention and response at low cost
Creating a backup site can cost a great deal of resources and money. M series “Remote Data Replication” (RDR) uses an IP line with an iSCSI, eliminating the need for an FC-IP converter, which enables the development of cost-effective measures for disaster prevention and response. In addition, a low-cost process is possible because of reducing total network setup and operational cost.
Direct data restoration and backup for NEC HYDRAstor (HS Series) storage
M Series can make direct backup and perform restoration to NEC HS Series (HYDRAstor) storage without external backup server or software.
Convenient operation with M Series NEC Storage
Beginners can also manage the storage unit easily through Intuitive GUI
The operational status, disk load, and storage capacity of each component can be checked in a visible web browser window. Navigation windows show you how to setup replication, change pool capacity, and respond to failures. An easy-to-understand GUI environment removes operational errors.
NEC Storage M Series with Green Technology
Advanced energy saving design reduces power consumption
NEC has used the latest energy-saving technology to produce a storage device that lowers the previous energy consumption level to achieve one of the best energy ratings in the industry. M series disk array uses a power-efficient processor and independently controls the operating mode to reduce power consumption for the entire system. Low power components such as the 80 Plus Gold certified power supply have been used to the maximum extent possible, reducing the number of components for further lowering the power consumption. M Series Disk Array also works in environments with temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius, 104 degrees Fahrenheit reducing the use of air conditioning.
Data Security with NEC Storage M Series
Advanced protection such as data encryption at rest
M-Series Storage Disk Array uses Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) to encrypt data. Moreover, the M Series includes a variety of other security functions including access restrictions to volumes, write once read many definitions (WORM) and prevention of incorrect operations.
