The EMC

Symmetrix

DMX-3 delivers scalable capacity and performance to consolidate systems, applications, and/or hosts while maintain-
ing high service levels. Incrementally scalable packaging facilitates the online addition of independent storage bays (currently 2,400 2Gb/s
high-performance Fibre Channel disk drives, and more as larger configurations are qualified). The Direct Matrix

infrastructure accommo-
dates non-disruptive addition of disk directors enabling increased performance when needed.
System Resources
Symmetrix DMX-3 systems are built on the field-proven Direct Matrix Architecture

which provides dedicated, non-blocking interconnects


between I/O directors and global memory regions. To support the massive scalability of DMX-3 configurations, the DMX architecture has
been expanded and enhanced to deliver higher throughput (1 GB/s links) and increased I/O performance (four dual 1.3 GHz PPC processors
per director).
DMX data paths 32128 8 per I/O director, 16 per Global Memory director
DMX data bandwidth 32128 GB/s
DMX message bandwidth 4.06.4 GB/s
PowerPC processors 16130 Four dual 1.3 GHz processor complexes per director
Global Memory 32512 GB* Available in 8, 16, 32 and 64 GB Global Memory directors
Concurrent memory transfers 1632 4 per Global Memory director
Logical volumes 64,000
*256 GB effective
Connectivity
Symmetrix DMX-3 is available in configurations supporting up to ten (10) high-speed Channel I/O Directors with four SMP-driven pipeline
slices each. Optimized hardware logic and data protection encoding ensures end-to-end data integrity with automated channel failover for
maximum availability and load balancing.
Symmetrix DMX

systems support all popular hardware and operating system platforms, storage area networks (SANs), and high-avail-
ability cluster environments.
Protocol Usable System Ports Channel Director
2Gb/s Fibre Channel host/SAN ports 264 18 per Fibre Channel Director
2Gb/s Fibre Channel remote replication ports 28 14 per Fibre Channel Director
1Gb/s iSCSI ports 240 14 per Multi-protocol Channel Director
2Gb/s FICON host ports 240 14 per Multi-protocol Channel Director
1Gb/s GigE remote replication ports 28 14 per Multi-protocol Channel Director
ESCON host ports 264 18 per ESCON Channel Director
ESCON remote replication ports 28 14 per ESCON Channel Director
Mixed combinations of the above port types depend upon the configuration. Higher numbers of usable front-end ports are only supported
on configurations with fewer disk channels. Refer to the EMC Support Matrix on EMC.com or contact your local EMC sales representative for
specific configuration support. "
Disk Drives & Drive Connectivity
The Symmetrix DMX disk drive infrastructure is architected with the latest 2Gb/s dual-ported Fibre Channel disk drives, each supported by
two independent disk I/O directors with automatic failover and fault isolation.
* Capacities greater than 1,920 drives available by RPQ.
Specification Sheet
EMC Symmetrix DMX-3
EMC Symmetrix DMX-3 systems are
available in two- to nine-bay configura-

System Capacities in TB
Configurations with mixed drive capacities and speeds are allowed depending upon configuration.
24 GB of total capacity will be reserved for internal Symmetrix File System use.
160 to 640 GB of total capacity will be reserved for vaulting data from memory during system power down.
Each system will be configured with 312 global hot spare drives.
All capacities are based on 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes.
Actual usable capacity may vary depending upon configuration.
*Usable capacity with currently available memory and 300 GB drives for minimum drive count.
** Capacities greater than 1,920 drives available by RPQ.
