Bosch DSA-N2E8XC-12AT Single Controller Base Unit with iSCSI disk arrays, 12x12TB

DSA E2800 represents the next generation of DSA E‑Series, the iSCSI-based digital video disk arrays by Bosch. They are state-of-the-art platforms designed for the security industries most demanding digital video storage applications to manage relentlessly growing digital video data.

Key Features:

• Scale-up network storage solution: controller unit with 12 internal HDDs expandable via stateof-the-art SAS interface-connected expansion units 
• Configurable hardware-based RAID/DDP protection (RAID‑5, RAID‑6 or DDP) for highest system performance
• Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans
• Two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for highest speed iSCSI connectivity
• Fully modular design for ease of service and protected by NetApp services, including a 3 years next business day on-site support

System overview 

DSA E2800 is based on one 2U controller unit with 12 internal 3.5”, 7.2 K, NL-SAS (Serial Attached SCSI), enterprise HDDs (Nearline SAS).

The controller unit is available as a standard single controller configuration and as a dual controller configuration for high availability requirements. This storage system is a high-performance solution designed with robust flexibility that makes it a great fit for wide-ranging video surveillance requirements. Its balanced performance is designed for supporting high bandwidth and I/O intensive workloads.

The DSA E2800 fully redundant I/O paths, advanced protection features, and extensive diagnostic capabilities deliver high levels of availability, integrity, and security.

Functions

DSA E2800 is the co-branded E2800 series from NetApp. It is a scale-up network storage solution that provides security, highest “in-the-box” scalability, peace-of-mind data protection, and simplified management of all your video data.

DSA E2800 in single or dual controller configuration allows connecting up to seven 12-bay expansion units (12 x HDDs per expansion shelf) to one single or dual controller base unit.

It is a fully featured hardware RAID/DDP protected disk array which provides RAID‑5 protection for capacity-oriented environments and RAID‑6/DDP protection for availability-oriented environments.

High reliability and availability

DSA E2800 keeps your data safe and available with redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans, and protects from double-disk failure and single bit errors during rebuilds with high performance RAID‑6 or DDP.

Its redundant components, automated path failover, and online administration keep organizations productive 24 x 7 x 365.

Further high-availability features include:

• Automatic drive failover and detection and rebuild if using global hot spare drives
• Data cache with battery backup and de-stage to flash
• SANtricity proactive drive health monitoring identifies problem drives before they create issues

Monitoring 

Full SNMP support with MIB‑II and NetApp custom MIBs is provided. In case of component failures SNMP, e-mail alert notifications will be generated. Additionally, an event monitor for sending alert notifications to a central major event log is available. If the device is connected to the Internet/Intranet automatically generated AutoSupport messages can be sent, which helps to prevent issues before they occur.

Management

NetApp SANtricity storage management software combines robustness and ease of use. With its dynamic capabilities, SANtricity software supports onthe-fly expansion, reconfiguration, and maintenance without interrupting storage system I/O.
