Product and Architecture Overview
This Installation, Operation and Service Manual describes both the Sun Storage 3510
FC Array and the Sun StorEdge 3511 FC Array with SATA. The Sun StorEdge 3511
FC Array with SATA is also known as the Sun StorEdge 3511 FC Array, which is the
term used throughout the documentation.
The Sun StorEdge 3510 and 3511 FC arrays are rack-mountable, Network Equipment
Building System (NEBS) Level 3-compliant, Fibre Channel mass storage subsystems.
NEBS Level 3 is the highest level of NEBS criteria used to assure maximum
operability of networking equipment in mission-critical environments such as
telecommunications central offices.
Sun StorEdge 3510 Array. The Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array is designed for high
availability, high performance, and high capacity.
Sun StorEdge 3511 FC Array. The Sun StorEdge 3511 FC array is designed for high
availability, and employs Serial ATA (SATA) technology for high density storage,
with a Fibre Channel front end. This provides high capacity with a small footprint,
making this array ideal for content management archiving applications.
This chapter provides a brief overview of the Sun StorEdge 3510 and 3511 FC arrays.
Topics covered in this chapter are:
