Dell PowerVault NX3000 User manual

Advanced software for ecient data sharing

Share data among many, disparate users in an ecient,

non-intrusive way. Single Instant Storage (SIS) eliminates

data clutter by identifying duplicate ﬁles, freeing up more,

valuable space for your environment. Distributed File

System (DFS) and DFS Replication (DFS-R) allow simpliﬁed,

quick access to data and replication stored across

WAN/LAN environments, even to your remote oces. File

Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is a single-management

interface that helps deliver advanced managed ﬁle services

across CIFS/NFS and provides exceptional control over

ﬁles, perfect for audit, compliance and planning purposes.

No wasted time to setup or manage

Avoid the hassle of building a ﬁle server from scratch. The

PowerVault NX3000 is optimized for storing, sharing, and

protecting ﬁles and is pre-conﬁgured and designed to be

ready to go out of the box. Take full advantage of the Initial

Conﬁguration Tasks wizard to streamline the setup process.

Also, there is no need to buy additional Client-Access Licenses

(CALs) for each user you add to your NX3000. Support for

multiple users is already built into this ﬁle-sharing system.

Lastly, manage your ﬁles remotely, from wherever you are,

using iDRAC, OpenManage including Dell Management

Console (DMC), and IT assistant on the NX3000.

Integration that adapts to your environment

Not all environments look the same. The PowerVault NX3000

simpliﬁes your storage footprint by allowing you to store both

ﬁle and application data simultaneously while supporting

dierent operating environments. You can also use the

NX3000 as an NAS gateway with your existing PowerVault,

Dell / EMC or Dell EqualLogic™SAN investments.

High Availability

Implementing clustered, high availability solutions is also

easy by clustering two NX3000 appliances. The PowerVault

NX3000 can grow with you and support many companies

growing data availability requirements.

Easy to Deploy and

Manage File and Block

Storage Solution.

The NX3000 lets you leverage SAN

arrays for expansion or deploys in

a clustered conﬁguration for high

availability.
