CX3-20c and CX3-40c FC+iSCSI Combo

Offers new levels of tiered storage flexibility

Mix and match storage tiers and connectivity within same array

Extends the benefits of consolidationApplications not currently on networked storageApplications outside the data center

Leverages the value of CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale

CLARiiON array functionality can be applied to iSCSI LUNs (i.e., Virtual LUN technology, replication)

CX3 Combo Array:Simultaneous Fibre Channel and iSCSI host connectivity

4 IP connections in addition to existing 2 FC connections

~10% Price premium over FC-only models

Expanded Tiered Storage Options

Supports SATA II disks with 4 Gb/s disks in the same Fibre Channel loop

Supports low-cost Fibre Channel disks with 2 Gb/s disks in the same DAE

SATA II and Fibre Channel disks require separate DAEs

Visual representation of drive speeds reduces risk of misconfigured systems
