Best Practices for the Sun StorEdge
3510 FC Array
This document highlights Fibre Channel (FC) best practices which apply to the Sun
StorEdge3510 FC array.
Overview
The Sun StorEdge 3510 array is a next generation Fibre Channel storage system
designed to provide direct attached storage (DAS) to entry-level, mid-range, and
enterprise servers, or to serve as the disk storage within a storage area network
(SAN). This solution features powerful performance and reliability, availability and
serviceability (RAS) features using modern FC technology. As a result, the Sun
StorEdge 3510 FC array is ideal for performance sensitive applications and for
environments with many entry-level, mid-range, and enterprise servers, such as:
Internet
Messaging
Database
Technical
Imaging
This document gives a high level overview of the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array and
outlines four sample storage solutions for entry-level, mid-range, and enterprise
servers. The Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array supports multiple servers, so these
solutions are designed to match the overall environment rather than the particular
applications running within it. Use them as-is or tailor them to fit your exact needs.
Examples of customization opportunities include adding disks, enclosures and
software or even combining configurations. Choosing the solution that best matches
each particular environment will provide the best results.
