Symmetrix DMX3000

Everything high-end

DMX stands for Direct Matrix, a fundamentally new storage array architecture that delivers entirely new levels of performance, availability, functionality, and economics.
The Symmetrix DMX3000 is a triple-bay storage system using this advanced technology. It is the most powerful high-end system in the whole Symmetrix series.

can be scaled with up to 576 drives (84 TB of raw capacity), 128 GB cache, and 64 front-end ports. Connectivity options include Fibre Channel, 2-Gbit FICON for mainframes, Gigabit Ethernet for SRDF, and iSCSI. Like all Symmetrix models, it satisfies every availability need, allowing users to combine data mirroring with RAID protection both locally and remotely. Critical data can be mirrored offsite without additional load on the host, making it disaster-proof. The fully redundant system provides advanced failure protection: even maintenance can be performed without downtime. Routine self-monitoring functions, meanwhile, detect potential problems in the drives or cache.

One resourceful nervous system
The proven Enginuity operating system is the most comprehensive, mature and stable storage software environment available, and comes complete with a full complement of applications. It is designed to drive the high-speed, high-availability networked infrastructures for today's seemingly infinite storage challenges while also making business prepared for tomorrow.

“M” is for “more power”
Special Symmetrix model versions are also available for special needs, such as large-scale data warehouses or decision support environments, and our experts are there to help you find the most appropriate solution. When SLAs (service level agreements) require additional performance and availability, look no further than the DMX3000-M2. This new model incorporates 1 GHz PowerPC channel and disk directors, raising Symmetrix performance by up to 30 percent. The technology is also available as a data-in-place upgrade for existing systems.
