Sun StorageTek 3320 SCSI Array

Sun StorageTek 3320 SCSI Array

Features and Benefits

No Longer Orderable

This product has reached end-of-life and is no longer orderable. It is superceded by the next generation Sun StorageTek 2540 Array.

Built for growth across your future storage needs, Sun StorageTek 3320 SCSI array replaces complexity with consistency. These arrays are quick and easy to deploy, and give you streamlined management, across the entire family. That means less time spent configuring, reconfiguring, monitoring, and diagnosing storage arrays.


Key Benefits

  • Ultra320 SCSI Support, 320 MB 3.5-inch low profile
  • Carrier-quality Telcordia NEBS Level 3 certification
  • Military MIL-STD-810F air, land, and sea specification compliance
  • Single or dual split bus and hot-swap redundant RAID

Low-cost administration

In band or out of band management

This gives you flexible management connectivity choices, including VT100 and Telnet. You'll be able to choose the connectivity options that work best with your management strategies.

Powerful management software

Sun StorageTek Configuration Service (SSCS) software is a Java application that combines storage configuration, maintenance, and monitoring tools into a single, easy-to-use package. It gives you centralized administration through terminal, GUI, and web interfaces, simplifying management and reducing cost. For monitoring and event notification, we included Sun StorageTek Diagnostic Reporter software.

Remote manageability

If you're not already using lights-out management, you can cut a lot of time, complexity, and cost of your admin bottom line. The Sun StorageTek 3320 SCSI array feature Sun's Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM). It lets you use a network or serial connection for monitoring and reporting system and component status, saving time and money.


Affordable Scalability

Do more for less

The Sun StorageTek 3320 SCSI array can put your workgroup or department on an incredible growth path aimed at high returns on a protected investment.

Pay as you grow, not before

This modular, storage-dense, 2U rack array can take you to large capacities, one drive at a time, one array at a time, or stacked and racked, lights out, throughput up. The growth rate is entirely up to you, in fine-grain increments. You don't have to buy any capacity before you need it. But it's always available.


Highly Available Reliability

Data protection with performance

That's the job, and the Sun StorageTek 3320 SCSI array ensures 99.9998% availability. It's built rugged to protect your users from disaster. In fact, it's MIL-STD-810F military compliant for aircraft, ships, land vehicles. The Telcordia NEBS Level 3 certification makes it telcom-worthy.

Fine tune your volume

You can opt for single or dual split bus, for single or dual hot-swap redundant RAID controller configurations. That lets you match it to your specific application requirements for higher availability and performance.

Prevention beats luck

This array can help you avoid more failures and maximize availability with its proactive email notification system. It alerts you to potential array problems before they occur. Stress and costs down, availability up.


Flexibility for the Future

Open choices

The Sun StorageTek 3320 SCSI array fits a wide range of environments, small workgroups to large departments, partly because it's so flexible and adaptable. For instance, it handles almost all operating systems and host bus adaptors -- Solaris, Linux, Windows, Netware, HP-UX, and IBM-AIX. And, [compared to the higher-priced competition], it works with servers galore:

  • Sun Enterprise, Netra, and Sun Fire SPARC-based and Sun Fire x86-based servers
  • x86-based (Intel and AMD) third-party servers
  • IBM RISC-based servers
  • HP RISC-based servers

It adapts to your needs

For flexibility, RAID levels include: 0, 1, 1+0, 3, 5, 3+0, and 5+0.

Backward compatibility

Its Autoranging support for Ultra160 SCSI lets you deploy the Sun StorageTek 3320 SCSI array in existing Sun StorageTek 3310 array environments.
