Technology
NEC's storage products help customers manage data more effectively, efficiently and reduce complexity. The D-Series of Enterprise Modular Storage (EMS) is built on NEC's proven advanced storage technologies. The D Series can scale from 219GB up to 1.152 PB's of capacity. Unlike previous technologies where scalability required moving from one model or architecture to another the D-Series provides a seamless and scalable path for all aspects of the storage system. These include capacity, connectivity performance as well as availability. What the NEC D-Series offers is a single and unified storage architecture that addresses the requirements of small enterprises to the largest enterprise.

Performance is achieved by utilizing ultra-high speed host fibre channel interfaces, large cache capacity, and high performance SAS high density disk drives. Business continuity is enhanced with the use of resilient RAID 6 double parity technology and RAID TM (triple mirror), which tolerates two simultaneous drive failures to reduce costly downtime. Patented Phoenix Technology automates self-recovery of failed drives by separating them from the RAID group to perform background diagnostics and can reduce the need to do rebuild by 30 to 50 percent. NEC's storage technology offers users incredible scalability and availability at an exceptional total cost of ownership.
