FAQ

What is the Dell Compellent SCv3020 storage array used for?

The Dell Compellent SCv3020 is a block-level SAN storage array for centralized data storage in a business. It is most commonly used for virtualization, databases and file servers. The 3U enclosure holds up to 30 2.5″ drives. Dual controllers improve fault tolerance, and the array lets you consolidate the resources of multiple servers in one place.

What drives can be installed in the Dell Compellent SCv3020?

The SCv3020 enclosure is designed for 2.5″ drives. Depending on the configuration, these can be SSDs or spinning SAS drives, so you can build either a hybrid array or a higher-performance one. Supported models and capacities depend on the configuration. Before buying, check drive compatibility in the product description or ask an advisor.

How can I increase the capacity of the SCv3020 when I run out of storage space?

SCv3000 series arrays are expanded by adding extra drive enclosures connected to the controllers. This means you can increase capacity as your needs grow, without replacing the entire array. The maximum number of supported drives and the types of enclosures depend on the configuration. Check them in the manufacturer's specification or ask our advisor.

What interfaces does the Dell Compellent SCv3020 offer for connecting servers?

SCv3000 arrays are usually connected to a SAN via Fibre Channel, iSCSI or SAS, depending on the modules installed in the controllers. Before buying, you therefore need to match the variant to your infrastructure, including switches, HBA cards and cabling. Check the availability of specific ports in the specification of the offer you choose.

How does the SCv3020 differ from other arrays in the Compellent SCv30xx series?

The main difference is the enclosure format and the number of drive bays. The SCv3020 is a 3U model for 2.5″ drives, so it offers higher density than the smaller models in the series. All SCv30xx arrays run the same Storage Center software. The choice therefore depends mainly on the capacity and performance you need, and the space available in your rack cabinet.
