Dell |EMC AX150/AX150i 

Network Storage System 

 

 

Key Points 

 

 

Shared storage for up to 10 servers using either a familiar Gigabit 
Ethernet (“AX150i”) or a higher performance Fibre Channel (FC) 
network (“AX150”). 

 

Customer installable and scalable 

- Ideal for small businesses or 

departments/workgroups in large enterprises.   Simple, appliance-like 
installation process helps you deploy a SAN (Storage Area Network) 
in four easy steps 

 

Large storage capacity 

– scales from 750GB up to 6 TB of storage  

 

Data protection 

– Redundant storage processors, fully redundant “N+1 

Power” and UPS or battery-backed cache create a highly available 
architecture.  SATA-II hard drives provide increased performance 
versus standard SATA drives. 

 

Simplified, integrated management features

– Includes all the easy-to-use 

software you need for management, snapshots, and automated data 
path failover. And, you can add servers to the array at no additional 
software cost.
