DSA E2700 represents the next generation of
DSA E Series, the iSCSI-based digital video disk arrays by Bosch. They are state-of-the-art platforms designed for the security industries most demanding digital video storage applications to manage relentlessly growing digital video data. Since HD and recently UHD (4K) IP cameras and encoders have entered the surveillance market, the ever growing need for high bandwidth and low complexity of the storage infrastructure are the main challenges. The next generation DSA E2700 is the answer to it.
System overview
DSA E2700 is based on one 2U controller unit with 12 internal 3.5”, 7.2 K, NL-SAS (Serial Attached SCSI), enterprise HDDs (Nearline SAS).
The controller unit is available as a standard Simplex Controller configuration and as a Dual Simplex Controller configuration for high-capacity and extreme performance requirements.
uScale-up network storage solution: controller unit with 12 internal HDDs with up to 192 HDDs via state-of-the-art SAS interface-connected expansion units
uConfigurable hardware-based RAID protection (RAID 5 or RAID 6) for highest system performance
uRedundant hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans
uTwo 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for highest speed iSCSI connectivity
uFully modular design for ease of service and protected by NetApp services, including a 3 years next business day on-site support
This storage system is a high-performance solution designed with robust flexibility that makes it a great fit for wide-ranging video surveillance requirements. Its balanced performance is designed for supporting high bandwidth and I/O intensive workloads.
The DSA E2700 disk shelf option with a standard 12bay expansion unit with 12 x 3.5”, 7.2 K, NL-SAS, enterprise HDD (2U) and a high-density 60-bay expansion unit with 60 x 3.5”, 7.2 K, NL-SAS, enterprise HDD (4U) enable custom configurations that can be optimized for any standard midto enterprise-environments.
And the DSA E2700 fully redundant I/O paths, advanced protection features, and extensive diagnostic capabilities deliver high levels of availability, integrity, and security.
Functions
DSA E2700 is the co-branded E2700 series from NetApp. It is a scale-up network storage solution that provides security, highest “in-the-box” scalability,

peace-of-mind data protection, and simplified management of all your video data. NetApp pioneered the iSCSI protocol years ago and offers with the new E2700 product line a high-end product for the video surveillance market.
DSA E2700 in Simplex/Dual Simplex Controller configuration allows connecting up to seven 12-bay expansion units (12 x HDDs per expansion shelf) to one single/dual controller base unit.
Note: This is only valid for 12-bay expansion units with two ESM modules.
The Dual Simplex Controller configuration allows up to three 60-bay expansion units (60 x HDDs per expansion shelf) connected to one dual controller base unit. Connecting the 60-bay expansion unit to a single controller unit is not supported.
It is a fully featured RAID protected disk array which provides RAID 5 protection for capacity-oriented environments and RAID 6 protection for availabilityoriented environments. The RAID protection is based on a hardware RAID implementation for highest system performance. RAID 6 is highly recommended if the system will be used with a larger number of disk shelf expansion units.
High reliability and availability
DSA E2700 keeps your data safe and available with redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans, and protection from double-disk failure and single bit errors during RAID rebuilds with high performance RAID 6.
With over 20 years of storage development experience, DSA E2700 is based on a field-proven design architected to provide high reliability and availability. Its redundant components, automated path failover, and online administration keep organizations productive 24 x 7 x 365.
Further high-availability features include:
•Automatic drive failover and detection and rebuild if using global hot spare drives
•Data cache with battery backup and de-stage to flash
•SANtricity proactive drive health monitoring identifies problem drives before they create issues
Monitoring
Full SNMP support with MIB II and NetApp custom MIBs supported. In case of component failures SNMP, e-mail alert notifications will be generated. Additionally, an event monitor for sending alert notifications to a central major event log is available. If DSA E2700 is connected to the Internet/Intranet automatically generated AutoSupport messages can be sent. AutoSupport enhances customer service, speeds problem resolution, and helps prevent issues. It automatically sends alerts based on either event-based or time-based (weekly, daily, other) criteria to provide faster and better customer service, keeping your systems up and running longer.
Management
NetApp SANtricity storage management software combines robustness and ease of use. Full-time storage administrators appreciate the extensive configuration flexibility which allows optimal performance tuning and complete control over data placement. Part-time system administrators love the intuitive interface and wizards designed to simplify their tasks. With its dynamic capabilities, SANtricity software supports on-the-fly expansion, reconfiguration, and maintenance without interrupting storage system I/O. The software is available as 32 bit and 64 bit Microsoft OS installation package (available on the Bosch product catalogue).

Installation/configuration notes
Installable on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Clients, SANtricity storage management software provides easy central management of all DSA E Series arrays available within one network. There is no additional software necessary to be installed on peripheral devices. In addition, the system provides a powerful Command Line Interface (CLI) which is fully remote accessible by SSH (Secure Shell).
DSA E Series offers per controller a serial console connector and two dedicated Ethernet management ports for management access and 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI host ports. Each port must be configured with a separate IP address; the two iSCSI host ports are separated access paths to the storage system and represent an individual iSCSI target each.

Note: The overall bandwidth is per controller and does not depend on the number of used ports. The number of cameras will double by using two ports instead of one port.
Notice
iSCSI session specifications refer to the total number of recording and replay sessions. Bandwidth data refer to <Recording> / <Replay>. The maximum overall bandwidth of a Dual Simplex Controller system is 2500 Mbps read/write throughput in a 10 GbE uplink network.
Notice
DSA E2700 units are only supported by Bosch Firmware 5.60 and later, VRM 3.0 and later, and Configuration Manager 5.32 and later.
