Powerful entry storage architecture Based on the family of Intel processors, Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series storage implements a block architecture with VMware virtualization integration and concurrent support for native iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and SAS protocols. Each system leverages dual storage processors (single storage processor systems are available) and a full 12Gb SAS back-end. Additional storage capacity is added via Disk Array Enclosures (DAEs) while Distributed RAID (ADAPT) delivers faster drive re-build times. And all ME4 Series arrays are managed by an integrated HTML5 web-based GUI. PowerVault ME4 Series Base System and Expansion Models The two non-dense ME4 base arrays start at 2U and the dense ME4 array starts at 5U. Both models include dual controllers with Dual-core Intel Xeon processors, 8GB per controller and 4x10Gb iSCSI, 4x12Gb SAS, and 4x16Gb FC network connections (auto-negotiation supported on iSCSI and FC).
