FAQ

What is the Dell PowerStore 5200T storage array used for?

The Dell PowerStore 5200T is a mid-range storage array designed for centralized storage of business data. It supports workloads such as databases, virtualization and file servers. The "T" designation refers to the model that operates as a traditional storage system, where data is presented to servers over the network and no custom applications run on the array itself.

What protocols and data types does the PowerStore 5200T support?

The PowerStore 5200T is a unified system, meaning it supports both block and file data. Servers can connect using common SAN and NAS protocols such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS and SMB. The exact list of available interfaces and modules depends on the configuration, so it is best to confirm it before ordering.

How does the PowerStore 5200T differ from other PowerStore models?

PowerStore models differ in performance, capacity and expansion options. The 5200T sits in the middle of the range, between the smaller models (e.g. 1200T, 3200T) and the higher-performance 9200T. It is a good choice when you need more power than entry-level arrays offer, but without the cost and scale of top-end systems.

Can the PowerStore 5200T be expanded with additional capacity?

Yes, PowerStore is designed as a scalable platform. Capacity can be increased by adding expansion enclosures with drives and, in larger environments, by combining appliances into a cluster. The available options depend on the specific configuration and software version, so it is best to agree on an expansion plan at the selection stage.

How do I choose the right Dell PowerStore 5200T configuration for my needs?

Start by defining the usable capacity you need, the type of workloads (databases, virtualization, files), the network interfaces required and the expected data growth. Based on these, you can choose the number and type of drives and the I/O modules. It can help to consult an advisor who will verify the configuration before purchase.
