DSA E2800 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 E2800 disk arrays are the answer to it.

System overview

DSA E2800 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 single controller configuration and as a dual controller configuration for high availability requirements.

uScale-up network storage solution: controller unit with 12 internal HDDs expandable 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 E2800 disk shelf option with a standard 12bay expansion unit with 12 x 3.5”, 7.2 K, NL-SAS, enterprise HDD (2U) enables custom configurations that can be optimized for any standard midto enterprise-environments.

And the DSA E2800 fully redundant I/O paths, advanced protection features, and extensive diagnostic capabilities deliver high levels of availability, integrity, and security.

Functions

DSA E2800 is the co-branded E2800 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 E2800 product line a high-end product for the video surveillance market.

DSA E2800 in single or dual controller configuration allows connecting up to seven 12-bay expansion units (12 x HDDs per expansion shelf) to one single or dual controller base unit.

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 E2800 keeps your data safe and available with redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans, and protects from double-disk failure and single bit errors during RAID rebuilds with high performance RAID 6.

It is also prepared for use of Dynamic Disk Pools, which allow for very low rebuilt times.

With over 20 years of storage development experience, DSA E Series 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 the device 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 eventbased 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.

Installation/configuration notes

Bosch provides the necessary software tools for an initial setup of the storage in a video surveillance environment. In addition, the system provides web based configuration and 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 2 dedicated Ethernet management ports for management access, 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI host ports, and 2 additional optical iSCSI ports. Each port must be configured with a separate IP address; the 4 iSCSI ports are separated access paths to the storage system and represent an individual iSCSI target each.

In dual controller systems the iSCSI ports with the same number are tied together for redundancy purpose, while one of the ports is a fall-back path for an iSCSI port on the other controller.

The net capacity available is shown in the following tables:
