The Dell PowerVault  MD3000, a high-performance storage array for critical applications and two-node clusters, helps enable simple virtualisation deployments on two-server shared storage. The PowerVault MD3000 is an excellent choice for smaller environment virtualisation projects focused on consolidating servers. When paired with Citrix  XenServer, the PoweVault MD3000 is also an excellent choice for enabling zero-downtime maintenance.

The PowerVault MD3000, a modular disk storage array, can house up to 15 serial attached SCSI (SAS) or serial ATA (SATA) disk drives in a single 3U rack enclosure. It is expandable by simply adding up to two additional expansion enclosures for a total of 45 drives and 45 TB capacity. The entire array subsystem is managed from a single software application  the Modular Disk Storage Manager. This client-based Java  application can run on any server connected to your array or on a remote client on your network to streamline the management and maintenance of storage as it scales. With the PowerVault MD3000, you can quickly and easily add storage as needed without disruption to operations.
