FAQ

What is the Dell Compellent SCv3000 storage array suited for?

The SCv3000 is a block storage array from the Dell SC (Compellent) series, designed for small and mid-sized business environments. It works well as storage for virtualization, databases, file servers and backups. It typically runs in a SAN and serves multiple servers at the same time.

What interfaces and protocols does the Dell Compellent SCv3000 support?

The SCv3000 connects to servers using block-level technologies such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI or SAS. The exact set of ports depends on the controller configuration. Before buying, check which HBA cards and switches you have in your infrastructure so you can choose a compatible variant.

What is automatic data tiering in Compellent arrays?

It is a mechanism that moves data between disk tiers (e.g. SSD and HDD) depending on how often it is accessed. Frequently accessed data is placed on faster media, while rarely used data goes to cheaper, higher-capacity drives. This helps balance performance with a reasonable cost per unit of capacity.

How can I increase storage space in the Dell Compellent SCv3000 when I start running out?

You can expand capacity by connecting compatible disk enclosures from the Dell SC family and installing additional drives in them. The maximum expansion limit depends on the model, configuration and licensing. When planning an expansion, check that the enclosures and drives are compatible with your controller.

How do I choose the right SCv3000 configuration for my needs?

Start by estimating the usable capacity you need, the required performance (IOPS, throughput) and the types of applications it will support. Then decide on the drive type, network interfaces and expansion plans. If you are not sure which variant to choose, contact a Hardware Direct advisor.
