seamlessly integrate with many software layers, and still deliver consistently low-latency performance.
These capabilities make EF-Series an optimal SAN building block for any size enterprise that needs to
support demanding online or database reliant workloads.
Whether you are running Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM), Microsoft SQL Server, Splunk
real-time analytics, or specialty applications with demanding response-time requirements, the EF570
maintains its performance profile as systems scale up to 120 SSDs or five total shelves. To fully maximize
performance, only minor setting changes are required when you create disk pools, volume groups, or
volumes to switch between high-IOPS configurations and high-throughput configurations, making EF-
Series arrays easy to deploy regardless of your workload.
EF570 arrays use the new-generation, web-based SANtricity System Manager GUI to manage individual
arrays, and the new SANtricity Unified Manager enables you to organize and manage multiple new
generation E-Series and EF-Series arrays from the new API based central management application. The
built-in web services API integration or the management client-based web services package makes the
EF-Series product line easier than ever to integrate with your standard API-driven environment. The
following sections provide broad product information, including technical details about the new features
with SANtricity 11.50.1.
2 SANtricity Management Features
E-Series and EF-Series arrays have a rock-solid reputation for reliability, availability, simplicity, and
security. The SANtricity 11.50.x release builds on that legacy by adding a new central management
interface built on the existing SANtricity Web Services Proxy for new EF280/E2800 and EF570/E5700
storage systems.
The new generation E-Series and EF-Series arrays running the latest OS are now common criteria
certified (NDcPP v2 certification) and are listed on the Canadian Communications Security Establishment
(CSE) site.
2.1 Deployment
The decisions about which components to install if you have purchased an EF570 all-flash array depend
on how you answer the questions that are shown in Figure 4.
