The newest line of Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller cards, built on the LSI ® SAS 3108 dual-core PowerPC ® RAID-on-Chip (ROC), offers unmatched I/O performance for database applications and streaming digital media environments.The PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H730, with eight internal ports, delivers two PowerPC processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 1GB non-volatile cache memory. You can deploy the PERC H730 in hard drive-based server environments for significant performance gains. If you are implementing hybrid server platforms based on solid-state storage, these next-generation PERCs exploit the potential of solid-state drives (SSDs) for unsurpassed performance and enterprise-class reliability.Enterprise data protectionStandard support for the most popular RAID levels, including RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 50, RAID 60 and NV Cache, further strengthen the data-protection capabilities of the PERC H730. Dell’s NV Cache technology backs up the data to non-volatile memory in a power-loss event, and can store it safely for a nearly unlimited period of time. The H730 also supports non-RAID mode (pass-through) for applications managing storage independently.Intuitive RAID managementManaging the PERC H730 is easy using theintegrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller. Without having to deploy an agent, IT admins can configure, deploy, update and monitor the PERC H730, via the GUI or through Dell’s CLI (known as RACADM). Additionally, Dell’s one-to-many OpenManage Essentials consoleallows the user to perform storage operations across multiple servers, including the RAID controllers as well as the physical disks in the PowerEdge system and external enclosures.Benefits include:• iDRAC automatically creates and executes jobs for each storage configuration operation • Customer can reboot the host OS automatically or schedule reboot for a later date.• PERC H730 supports real-time RAID monitoring and hardware inventory .iDRAC incorporates Dell OpenManage ™ Storage Services (OMSS) which provides the tools to efficiently manage PERC products, including apre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID management utilities. This suite of applications allows administrators to adjust SAS or SATA topology views from the system host down to the logical and physical drive level. Extending to enterprise deployments, these tools can scale to easilyconfigure, monitor and manage RAID and JBOD volumes locally or over the LAN network.Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H730PowerEdge RAID Controller H730• Eight internal ports• 72-bit DDR3 interface drives 1GB non-volatile cache memory • Unsurpassed performance and enterprise-class reliabilityEight-port 12Gbps PCI Express (PCIe) RAID controller supporting 3Gbps, 6Gbps and12Gbps SAS or SATA hard-disk or solid-state drives.FeaturePowerEdge RAID Controller H730 technical specificationSolution provided Value/performance RAID and non-RAID (pass-through) solution for high-density servers (1U or 2U) with the flexibility to use both SATA and SAS HDDs, SSDs, and pass-through drive configurations Physical dimensions 167.6 mm (6.6 in) x 64.4 mm (2.5 in) (MD2 low profile) Connectors Two internal HD Mini-SAS SFF8643Device support Up to 255 (SAS, SATA)Host bus type 8-lane, PCI Express 3.0 compliant Key RAID and data protection featuresRAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6RAID spans 10, 50, 60Non-RAID (Pass-through)Online Capacity Expansion (OCE)Online RAID Level Migration (RLM)Auto resume after power loss during array rebuild or reconstruction/RLM Check Consistency for background data integrity Physical disk power management (Dimmer Switch™)4K native sector support Workload profilesSupport for TRIM/UNMAP Commands for SAS/SATA SSDsNVRAM “Wipe” feature- protects proprietary data once card is decommissioned SED drive support Load balancingFast initialization for quick array setup Configurable stripe size up to 1MB SSD supportPatrol read for media scanning and repairing DDF compliant Configuration on Disk (COD)S.M.A.R.T. supportGlobal and dedicated hot spare with revertible hot-spare support: automatic rebuild, enclosure affinity, emergency SATARAID managementCTRL-RDell OpenManage Storage Services Additional management:UEFI (HII)CEMOperating temperature Maximum ambient temperature: 60°C Operating voltage +3.3VOptional SSD optimizationDell FastPath™ firmware feature: delivers high IOPs performance on SSD arrays Operating systemsMicrosoft ® Windows Server ® 2008 R2 SP1Microsoft Windows Server 2012Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R1 & R2Red Hat ® Enterprise Linux ® 5.8Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5SUSE ® Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP4SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3Virtualization options:VMware ® ESXi 5.1VMware 6.0WarrantyUp to five-year warranty available for controller (up to the length of purchased system warranty) Three-year warranty for battery©2016 Dell Inc.

RackSwitch G8124EProduct Guide (withdrawn product)The RackSwitch™ G8124E (shown in Figure 1) delivers exceptional performance that is both lossless and low latency. In addition, the G8124E delivers excellent cost savings as you consider acquisition costs, energy costs, plus its feature-rich design with when it comes to virtualization, CEE/FCoE, high availability, and its enterprise class Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality.With support for 1 Gb Ethernet or 10 Gb Ethernet, the G8124E switch is designed for those clients that are leveraging 10 GbE today or have plans to in the future. This is the first top of rack (TOR) 10 GbE switch designed to support Virtual Fabric, which helps clients significantly reduce cost and complexity when it comes to the I/O requirements of most virtualization deployments today. Virtual Fabric can help clients reduce the number of multiple I/O adapters down to a single dual-port 10 GbE adapter, in addition to reducing the number of cables and upstream switch ports required. Virtual Fabric allows clients to carve up a dual-port 10 GbE adapter into eight virtual NICs (vNICs) and create dedicated virtual pipes between the adapter and the switch for optimal performance, plus higher availability and better security. This functionality provides the ability to dynamically allocate bandwidth per vNIC in increments of 100 Mb, while being able to adjust over time without downtime.Figure 1. RackSwitch G8124EDid you know?The G8124E switch is designed to support a number of separate types of configurations from a server or downstream switches: 1 Gb, 10 Gb, virtual NIC, Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE/FCoE), and iSCSI. This single switch can handle all these workloads and can connect to an upstream 1 Gb or 10 Gb infrastructure, or both. The G8124E is designed to support data center bridging (DCB), which is the IEEE’s group of protocols that provide Lossless Ethernet and allows for clients to reduce the costs of implementing FCoE by leveraging port aggregation before connecting to more costly upstream gateway devices.The G8124E can be configured in "easy connect" mode to allow for transparent and simple connectivity to the upstream network, enabling easy connectivity to upstream Cisco, Juniper or other networks without having to change those networks.Virtual Fabric helps clients reduce costs and complexity in environments where they need four or more NICs per server. A perfect example is virtualization, where clients often need as many as eight NICs per server.The G8124E can help clients reduce the complexity of managing VMs and VM migration with VMready® feature that makes the network VM-aware.Click here to check for updatesover OM3 multimode fiber or up to 400 meters over OM4 multimode fiber with LC connectors.

10 Key Benefits of Panduit SmartZone™ DCIM Solutions A s organizations demand more from their IT infrastructure while requiring ever more efficient operations, data centers have become one of the primary areas of focus for improvement. During the first 40 years of data centers, the focus was simply on ensuring operational continuity and stability . However , in the last few years, there is a new focus on making data centers more efficient and more responsive to the changing organizations they support.Panduit SmartZone™ Solutions provide comprehensive intelligent DCIM software, hardware, and supporting services. This offering allows organizations to works synergistically with the normal IT operations lifecycle of “Plan/Deploy/Operate” to address operational issues. The following “T op 10” list offers examples of some of the key top-of-mind issues that SmartZone™ Solutions addresses.#1 – Provide Highly Granular Data on Power Usage in the Data Center – When it comes to managing a data center , having accurate and specific information that tracks actual power usage at the rack, group, or functional level is critical to effective operations. This information is delivered by SmartZone™ Solutions, and allows IT operations to monitor , display , and document power utilization, as well as identify rising power and/or temperature threshold concerns to drive efficiencies and prevent downtime. Further , this information provides actionable data that can be used to identify underutilized or “stranded” power capacity that can potentially be reclaimed to maximize existing IT resources.#2 – Automated Asset Tracking & Reconciliation – In most data centers there are regular changes to the devices that are deployed. In the past when changes were less frequent and there were fewer devices, manual or simple tracking tools were acceptable - but this is no longer the case. Using manual or rudimentary asset tracking solutions often results in inaccurate, outdated information and the need for audits, which can cost up to $40,000 each time. SmartZone™ Solutions provide complete and up to date asset tracking of connected infrastructure devices. Automated asset tracking is critical to optimizing costs such as softwareIntelligent DCIM has become the strategic descriptor of the move toward three prime goals:• Efficiency (Energy and Operational)• Uptime• Capacitylicensing or maintenance contracts where accurate hardware inventory drives spending cuts. Another important element of this capability is to identify unused, underutilized, or inefficient devices that could be repurposed or replaced to lower operating costs. In addition, this capability simplifies the reconciliation of overall asset tracking so that the tool alerts you to changes, not the other way around.#3 – Intelligently Deploy Assets – As new storage, servers, and network equipment are deployed in the data center, the question of where to physically locate them becomes very important. Overloading the electrical, connectivity, or cooling capacity in a specific location can result in unplanned downtime, a situation no one wants. However, without accurate information on the actual rack location details, what resource capacity exists, and where environmental support is assured, installing new hardware can be risky.Panduit SmartZone™ Solutions gather this crucial information to allow for faster andmore successful hardware installation and provides guidance for patching, resulting insubstantial time-savings in IT operations.#4 – Reclaim Stranded Capacity – As pressure builds to support business needs, it results in data center growth to support IT demands. These growing needs are causing datacenters to fill up quickly, and organizations to spend CAPEX on building or expandingexisting resources. The ability to identify and use every bit of your existing data center to forgo or delay costly new builds as long as possible is very valuable. The PanduitSmartZone™ Solutions provide visibility of actual power, cooling, space, and connectivity resources being utilized, as well as what is still available for use. This includes theability to identify “stranded capacity”, where full utilization of one or more resources is constrained by full consumption of one or more other resource in a rack or cabinet.For instance, one cabinet may be only using 50% of its available power consumptionbecause there is no available physical space left to deploy devices. Insight gained from DCIM software provides actionable data for IT to possibly reconfigure or decommission devices and balance out available resource consumption. This allows maximum overall utilization to ideally postpone the need for new data center builds or expansions. Without proper visibility, making uninformed changes creates serious risk of negatively impacting operations. SmartZone™ solutions provide the accurate, current and specific information necessary to understand current capacity resources, and help to identify strandedcapacity that could be reclaimed.#5 – Real-time Environmental Monitoring – Many data centers now operate closer to their environmental limits than was typically the case in the past. Further, many of the most modern servers and other hardware devices will operate at different utilizationlevels, changing their environmental impact constantly. This situation requires real-time monitoring of all aspects of the data center environment. The Panduit offering isdesigned to not only provide real-time temperature and humidity metrics, but to deliver this data with a level of granularity necessary to allow IT operations to effectivelymanage all zones of the data center, and prevent downtime. This SmartZone™ Solution capability also creates the information necessary to develop trending analysis so thataction can be taken before any situation becomes critical. SmartZone™ Solutions offer industry-leading wireless monitoring and cooling control solutions that work withextensive power, IT asset and connectivity management for a complete DCIM solution.#6 – Improve Uptime & Reliability – Ensuring that the data center remains fully operational is likely the single most important aspect of IT operations, and PanduitSmartZone™ Solutions helps to minimize downtime risks. By monitoring power,environmental, and connectivity conditions around the clock, SmartZone™ Solutions can actively identify rising temperature concerns, unplanned connectivity disruptions, oreven unauthorized access to cabinets or network ports. DCIM software can then sendimmediate notification alerts of events and locations for immediate resolution andlowered mean time to repair (MTTR). This capability is essential to ensure that IT is able to meet SLAs.#7 – Reduce Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) – Despite the relatively high reliability of most data center components, systems or other elements of the data center occasionally need replacement. The ability to do this as quickly and effectively as possible is critical to operations, and a key part of Panduit SmartZone™ Solutions. The solution starts byproviding real-time monitoring to identify where problems may exist. The system then accurately identifies failed or compromised hardware, and where it is physically located.And, as security becomes ever more important, SmartZone™ Solutions can identify and discover where authorized, erroneous or unauthorized changes to network connections have occurred, facilitating repair or addressing other possible problems with networkhardware devices.#8 – Faster Identification of Unauthorized or Compromised Network Access –The network is highly important in nearly every aspect of IT operations. Having a full and complete picture of how the network is functioning and any changes in network use and access is critical. Panduit SmartZone™ Solutions allow faster identification of any changes or interruption to the network that impacts the switches. The solution provides real-time monitoring of the switches, with the ability to set custom parameters to prevent “false”positives, or to highlight only specific conditions. There is also automated discovery of any changes, including new devices, unauthorized devices, and any changed devices.SmartZone™ also offers enhanced control of physical access to data center assets toprotect from unintentional or unauthorized access to devices.#9 – Calculating Accurate PUE Metrics – There are multiple initiatives and compliance demands that require more accurate information about data center operations,especially around Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). This is where the Panduit solution truly shines. Starting with a design that integrates data center metrics into the overall building usage data, SmartZone™ Solutions provide more granular and accurate datathan most other approaches. These solutions provide data on power consumptionbeyond the Power Distribution Unit (PDU), a comparison between building providedpower and IT used power, and full support for PUE2 Category 3, which provides the most rigorous metrics.#10 – Identify & Document Power and Cooling Cost Reductions – As organizations demand more cost cutting and budget efficiency from IT operations, there is a need to showcase the actual savings that have occurred. SmartZone™ Solutions provide consistent and accurate measurement of the data center environment that is regularly gathered, delivering the time sequence information necessary to show savings. The management console also provides a holistic perspective of data center operations to ensure all of this data is well integrated and can be viewed cohesively. There is also complete andcomprehensive documentation on the actual efficiency and power reductions that have been implemented which is critical for compliance programs. Finally, the data is highly granular, providing the detail needed to show how savings were achieved and the insight to understand these savings.For more information visit: /dcim。
