Dell storage arrays

Data availability, security, and system speed are key to efficient IT infrastructure today. A storage array is not just a file repository – it's the central point for managing disk space within a company. At hardwaredirect.pl, you'll find Dell PowerVault and Dell EMC storage arrays that can successfully handle everything from backing up a few workstations to supporting hundreds of simultaneous transactions in ERP applications or AI systems. For a startup, a bank, a data center, or a cloud – we have equipment that will perform at any scale and from any angle.

If your goal is a secure place for backups, VM snapshots, shared folders, and a simple archiving system, you don't need to invest tens of thousands of dollars. Arrays like the Dell PowerVault MD1200 (12x 3.5") or MD1220 (24x 2.5") are compact and effective solutions. They support SAS and SATA drives, allow you to build RAID 5, 6, or 10, and are easy to use and ready to work with most popular Dell, HPE, or Lenovo servers. The MD1400 is an excellent choice for IP monitoring systems, while the MD1220 is better suited for database environments where disk density and faster access are critical. All this typically falls into a budget-friendly range, coming with a complete set: rails, cables, disks – no hidden costs or unnecessary surprises.

When high data availability, fast processing, and large traffic volumes are involved, it's time to step up.

Models from the MD3400 and MD3600F families offer more than just space – you get automatic data tiering, encryption support (FIPS 140-2), SAS 12Gb/s, and Fibre Channel 16Gb interfaces, as well as redundant controllers that guarantee business continuity even if one unit fails. The MD3600F with 4x FC 16Gb/s ports and support for up to 216TB of space is ideally suited for SAP HANA environments, data warehouses, and ERP systems. If you know your company cannot afford transaction loss, and the backup window is measured in minutes – this is where real resistance to errors and overloads begins.

The ME5024 and ME4084 are arrays designed for environments operating on large datasets, in real-time, and with minimal latency. 25GbE iSCSI ports, SAS 3.84TB SSD support, NVMe over Fabrics support, as well as cloud replication – these are just some of the capabilities that translate into performance up to 40 Gb/s and the ability to connect multiple clusters simultaneously. The ME5024 in an all-flash configuration is an ideal solution for companies in the AI/ML sector, image processing, data analytics, or intensive virtualization. The ME4084, on the other hand, allows scaling up to over 2 PB of capacity, making it an excellent foundation for inter-site backup, multi-tenant environments, or distributed hybrid architectures.

Not every company needs 84 drives and 25GbE right away. But every company needs a solution that will operate stably, be expandable, and won't fail after the first RAID error. At Hardware Direct, we don't just sell arrays – we help you choose them based on your real needs, budget, and growth plans. We'll advise which model better handles large amounts of random write, and which is better for sequential backup. We'll check if your server supports a given controller type and which interfaces you'll best utilize. And if you need a specific disk, SFP+, or rails – we'll take care of that too. No guessing, no ambiguity – just clear, specific assistance.
