Description Technical Specs Extended Information
 
As a member of the Sun modular series of arrays, the Sun StorageTek™ 2540 array is specifically designed for a wide range of users. It brings together 4 Gb/sec FC host connectivity, SAS and SATA drive-side technology, and intuitive Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software to create a robust solution that’s equally adept in an entrylevel storage
area network (SAN) for the small to medium business (SMB) and integrating into an existing storage network within the enterprise.

Satisfying a wide range of storage demands
Both Enterprise and the SMB face their own distinct challenges. The enterprise buyer, with departmental and remote offices, is searching for a reliable and self-administrable storage solution from a name they can trust. And the current SMB administrator, with unconsolidated directly attached storage (DAS), requires a more efficient and networked storage solution. While each of these organizations faces its own unique storage demands, Sun can satisfy both of these markets’ data requirements with the affordable, available, and high-performance Sun StorageTek 2540 array.

Sun expertise in external storage system development was the intellectual groundwork for the Sun StorageTek 2540 array ensuring best-of-breed technology and reliability. The Sun StorageTek 2540 array combines Sun’s time-proven designs with advanced front-end 4 Gb/sec FC host connectivity and next-generation SAS backend technology to enable an
organization’s productivity through data consolidation, availability, performance and scalability.

With four auto-negotiating 4 Gb/sec FC host ports and 256 volumes per array, the Sun StorageTek 2540 array supports direct attachment of two to four servers, or provides additional server attachment through FC SAN connectivity. This makes it a great array solution for businesses that want to initially deploy the Sun StorageTek 2540 array as a directly attached array, and then seamlessly transition to a SAN when ready. Additionally, the Sun StorageTek 2540 array is a great fit for existing SANs, as it can easily integrate into 1, 2, and 4 Gb/sec FC infrastructures and provide robust and reliable storage at an affordable price.

Start small, grow big
The Sun StorageTek 2540 array’s modular design creates an affordable entry point without sacrificing future scalability enabling customers to start small and grow big when they’re ready. Dual-active controllers and up to 12 SAS and/or SATA drives combine to create a fully featured and highly available storage system in a 2 U enclosure. And when capacity
and/or performance requirements change, the Sun StorageTek 2540 array’s scalability supports up to 36 additional drives.
