Description

This Dell dell powervault me5024 is a 2U me5024 storage array with twenty-four 2.5-inch bays and two active controllers. It is configured as an all flash storage target with twelve 7.68tb sas ssd drives and eight 25GbE iSCSI host ports. The unit price is $74,439 per set for one array.

Each controller has four 25GbE iSCSI SFP28 host ports, for eight in total. Eight 25GBASE-SR SFP28 multimode optics with LC duplex connectors and DDM fill every host port. With both controllers active, hosts can reach each volume over several paths, and MPIO balances traffic and keeps access during a controller, port, or switch failure. This makes the array a 25gbe iscsi san target for virtualization clusters on Ethernet.

Storage is twelve 7.68TB SAS SSDs, read intensive, 512e, hot-swap. Twelve drives are 92.16TB raw. Usable capacity depends on the RAID or ADAPT layout chosen in PowerVault Manager, which the quote does not set. Twelve of the twenty-four bays are empty, so capacity can grow inside the same 2U enclosure.

Software is PowerVault Manager with both GUI and CLI. RAID 1, 5, 6, and 10 are supported, along with ADAPT distributed erasure coding, and MPIO. The quote states that all licenses are included. Power is two 580W hot-swap supplies in a 1+1 redundant pair. Support is 3-Year ProSupport with Next Business Day response.

Teams who buy storage array for shared block storage can order this dell powervault me5024 as one line: the dual-controller enclosure, eight 25GbE iSCSI ports with eight SR optics, twelve 7.68TB SSDs, redundant power, PowerVault Manager, and three years of ProSupport. $74,439 per set is the price of that one array.

Compatibility

The host ports are 25GbE iSCSI SFP28. Hosts connect through Ethernet switches with 25GbE SFP28 ports, using OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber with LC connectors. Fiber cables are not listed in the quote. Hosts need iSCSI initiators and MPIO enabled to use both controllers.

The twelve open bays take 2.5-inch drives from the ME5 drive list. Matching the installed 7.68TB read-intensive SAS SSDs keeps performance and capacity even within a disk group or ADAPT pool. Expansion enclosures can be added through the controllers' expansion ports if more capacity is needed later.

The dell powervault me5024 pairs with servers that have 25GbE iSCSI-capable adapters, such as a Dell PowerEdge R7625 with Broadcom 57414 cards. PowerVault Manager runs on the array controllers and is reached from a web browser or the CLI.

Usage Scenarios

Shared storage for a cluster: Eight 25gbe iscsi san ports serve block volumes to a group of virtualization hosts. Dual active controllers and MPIO let hosts keep running if a controller is serviced.

All-flash virtual machine datastores: Twelve 7.68TB SAS SSDs give fast random reads for virtual machine boot storms, databases, and application volumes. Read-intensive drives suit workloads where reads outweigh writes.

Flexible protection: ADAPT spreads data and spare capacity across all drives, which shortens rebuild time after a drive failure. RAID 6 or RAID 10 disk groups are alternatives when a fixed layout is preferred.

Growth in place: With twelve bays still open, capacity can roughly double inside the same 2U enclosure before an expansion shelf is needed.

What this price covers: $74,439 per set is one me5024 storage array: the dual-controller 2U enclosure, eight 25GbE iSCSI ports and eight SR optics, twelve 7.68TB SAS SSDs, two 580W supplies, PowerVault Manager with all licenses, and 3-Year ProSupport NBD.
