Magnitude 3D 3000 Family
The Magnitude 3D® 3000 family is a series of fiber-distributed, virtual storage clusters that give midsized enterprises unmatched storage resilience and scalability. The Magnitude 3D 3000 family delivers easy storage management without planned downtime, so storage changes can happen during business hours, without specialized (and costly) vendor expertise. The Magnitude 3D 3000 family delivers top-end performance that does not degrade as storage needs scale higher—and can be tuned at the application level. These systems also provide multiple storage tiers for cost-effective information lifecycle management strategies.

Currently, there are three members of the Magnitude 3D 3000 family:

• Magnitude 3D 3000s, the flagship of the family, is a high-performance, high-capacity virtual storage system that offers the ability to attach to both Fibre Channel and IP SANs.
• Magnitude 3D 3000e is an award-winning entry-level storage solution that delivers the the ease of use, clustering, enhanced performance, and Fibre Channel/IP SAN capabilities of Magnitude 3D 3000s, but is sized for lower capacity requirements.
• Magnitude 3D 3000e Edge is a single-controller, Fibre Channel-only version of Magnitude 3D 3000e, designed for smaller implementations, data archiving, and disaster-recovery sites.
