Optimized Data Management

Advanced SAN storage solutions

Reliability & Functionality

M-Series, NEC's diverse line of storage disk array solutions, makes large-scale storage consolidation and scalability easy with autonomous operations using advanced virtualization technologies, a high-speed solid state drive and thin provisioning.

Whether for an entry-level, low-end, mid-tier or high-performance environment, we deliver the optimal system that perfectly balances non-disruptive, highly efficient and secure availability with energy-savings affordability.

Strategic Benefits

Our M-Series solutions have been developed to respond to the needs of the next-generation infrastructure. This means providing capabilities that are central to any organization looking to improve the way they store, share and archive critical data, including

Functionality
High performance.
Enhance stability.
Ready availability

Manageability
Data tiering.
Cache management.
Advanced data pooling

Economy

Reduced cooling costs.
Smaller space requirements.

Security
Self-encrypting drives.
Secure erase technology.*

*A high security disk data erasure technique based on the United States Department of Defense's DoD5220.22-M disk erasure method

Hardware Efficiencies

With NEC M-Series hardware components data becomes more accessible through better control and distribution.
This becomes achievable thought:

Stable performance
Upper and lower disk limits ensure performance.

Auto reallocation
Data is automatically assigned based on frequency of use.

Hot spot removal
A solid state drive fosters higher levels of performance.

Flexible responsiveness
An advanced dynamic pool reacts to sudden data demand.

Maximized usage
Thin provisioning responses when physical volume is insufficient.

Advanced Security

M-Series provides a choice of security functions.
These range from access restrictions to logical disk, log and record audits to deterrence in erroneous operations.
The use of a self-encypting drive also scrambles data in the hard disk drive to prevent data leakage should the hard disk drive be inappropriately removed, lost, stolen or damaged.
