Data Mobility and Migration

Replication
Replicates with other SC Series arrays*

Per-volume QoS bandwidth prioritization
Target/source relationships may be one-to-many or many-to-one
Supports all SC data services on source and target volumes
Change replication types and topologies on demand
Supports cross-platform replication with PS Series/EqualLogic arrays (either direction)

Volume mobility
Live Migrate (included in base product) enables host-transparent data movement among arrays; see also Federation section

Federated multi-array systems
Live Migrate (included in base product) enables host-transparent movement of volumes among arrays
Snapshots maintained/preserved during migration

Thin Import
Space-efficient, non-disruptive data migration from PS Series (EqualLogic) arrays

Thin Clones
Clone standalone volumes with zero duplication of data
Clones maintain independent snapshots and replication
Ideal for VDI, test/dev, other applications that require discrete instances of common data
More efficient than dedupe for database copies

RAID tiering
Auto-provisions and dynamically restripes multiple RAID levels on the same tier; no need to pre-allocate RAID groups

Thin provisioning
Active by default on all volumes, operates at full performance across all features

Thin snapshots
Records changes only, snapshots auto-migrate to lower-cost storage

Intelligent compression
Selectable option per volume
Applies to SSDs, HDDs or both in hybrid configurations

HDD optimization
FastTrack moves frequently accessed data to outer tracks for quicker response times

  • SCv3020 – (30) 2.5” drive slots

Optional expansion enclosures let you scale up to 222 drives, or 1PB per array* – with even larger scale-out potential in federated multi-array systems. All three expansion enclosures may be used with either base array. All array and expansion enclosure models support a variety of SSD, 15K, 10K and NLSAS drives (including FIPS-certified SEDs).

  • SCv300 – (12) 3.5” drive slots, 2U
  • SCv320 – (24) 2.5” drive slots, 2U

Dell EMC Storage SCV3000 All Flash Storage Efficiency Guarantee

4:1 All-Flash Storage Efficiency Guarantee

SC Series arrays are efficient in ANY configuration (all-flash, hybrid and HDD) – but we know many businesses are especially concerned about expense when deploying all-flash arrays. That’s why we’re taking the risk out of AFAs by guaranteeing 4:1 efficiency for all-flash SC configurations. Dell EMC promises our all-flash arrays will provide an effective logical storage capacity at least four times the physical capacity of your purchased drives – or we’ll give you more drives at no charge.*
