The VNX5800 is designed for the mid-tier space and replaces the Gen 1 VNX5700. This model supports block, file and unified configurations, and utilizes a DPE chassis.The SPs in this model use a 2.0 GHz, six-core Xeon E5 processor with 32GB of RAM, supporting a maximum of 750 drives with the following host connectivity options: FC, iSCSI, and FCoE. This model uses a DPE available in a 25 x 2.5” drive form factor. The VNX Operating Environment boots from the first four drives on the DPE known as Vault drives. The VNX DPE uses UltraFlex I/O slots for all connectivity.
The management system utilized is Unisphere.
FAST VP functionality is enhanced on the VNX2 series and is available for both block and file data. FAST VP optimizes storage utilization by automatically moving data between storage tiers (for example, Flash, SAS, and NL-SAS). Data also moves within tiers. The VNX5800 has a FASTcache capacity of 3TB.
The 5800 supports Raid Levels 0, 1, 10, 3, 5 and 6. The maximum number of pools is 40, LUN (Pool) is 2,100 with a maximum number of 4096 LUNS, and a pool size of 256TB.
