10 GbE Unified Storage Goes Mainstream
The DH200 sets the new standard in IP storage for growing enterprises by uniting 10 Gigabit Ethernet, tiered storage, and SAN and NAS in one simple, elegant, and efficient system. With 10 GbE adoption accelerating, the DH200 brings 10 GbE storage mainstream with quad load-balanced 10 GbE ports and dual SAS expansion links. FlexScale technology enables up to 84 SATA, SAS, and SSD drives to be integrated side-by-side, providing optimal storage tiers for any application on one system. With the all-inclusive HALO software, the DH200 provides enterprise-grade data protection including snapshots, clones, synchronous mirroring, and asynchronous replication, at no additional cost. The DH200’s versatility enables organizations to reduce storage expenditures by 60% by retiring single-purpose arrays, eliminating software fees, and reducing energy, administration, and capacity costs.

Reduce hardware/software costs by 50%
Enterprises require both block and file storage, but iSCSI-only systems cannot provide file storage without NAS gateways. The DH200 provides iSCSI SAN and NAS in one system, eliminating hardware and software costs, increasing storage utilization, and centralizing management.
Cut power/cooling costs by 70%
Unified iSCSI SAN and NAS with the DH200 means that just one system, not two, can meet both block and file storage needs, cutting power and cooling costs. 80% fewer components further reduce the DH200's power consumption to as little as 19 watts per managed TB.
Consolidate more servers and virtual machines
Clustered iSCSI arrays rely on just 2-3 Gbps of bandwidth for all network traffic between servers and storage nodes. The DH200 isolates network and storage traffic on separate 10 Gigabit Ethernet and SAS links for 60 Gbps of total bandwidth to support far more servers and virtual machines.
Reduce expansion costs by 40%
With clustered iSCSI arrays, there are no cost per TB savings as the storage is expanded, leading to excessive capacity costs over time. With the DH200, cost per TB decreases as the system is expanded since only additional capacity is required, not entirely new systems.
50x improvement in I/O performance
A large policy-based cache ensures the most critical applications achieve cache hits, eliminating the latency of drive seeks. Solid state drives provide ultrafast capacity for applications like virtual computing and databases. By storing select I/O-intensive data on SSD, users can eliminate I/O bottlenecks and improve application responsiveness.
Standardize on Ethernet to simplify IT
10 Gigabit Ethernet offers more bandwidth than Fibre Channel while enabling organizations to standardize on familiar Ethernet networking. Server adapters and switches are now affordable, making 10 Gigabit Ethernet the ideal long-term storage infrastructure.
