Dell Compellent SC5020

The Dell EMC SC5020 is a storage array designed to provide a high-performance, cost-effective solution for various application environments. It features a 3U chassis with 30 drive bays, dual hot-swappable controllers, and can scale up to 2PB per array using expansion enclosures. The SC5020 utilises dual 8-core Intel processors and a 12Gb SAS back end to deliver increased IOPs and bandwidth.
You can choose from our suggested specifications below or use our online configuration tool to tailor the Compellent SC5020 to your specific needs.
Hardware and Core Specifications
This hardware combination allows the SC5020 to achieve up to 45% more IOPS and up to 3 times more bandwidth compared to the previous SC4020 model. The system has 128GB of system memory per array (64GB per controller) and can hold up to 460TB of raw capacity within the base unit, scaling to 2PB per array through expansion enclosures.
The SC5020 supports a mix of SAS and NL-SAS drives, including both SSDs (write-intensive and read-intensive) and HDDs (15K, 10K, 7.2K RPM). The system includes two hot-swappable 1485W power supplies


Key Software Features and Functionality
The SC5020 uses the Dell Storage Center OS (SCOS). A key feature is Data Progression, which dynamically manages data across different storage tiers and RAID levels, optimizing performance and cost.
Data is initially written to the fastest drives at RAID 10, then converted to RAID 5/6 for cost efficiency. The system also uses deduplication and compression.
Management, Integration, and Deployment
The SC5020 supports simultaneous multiprotocol connectivity, meaning it can use Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI, and SAS at the same time
Fibre Channel: The system has a maximum of 8 x 32Gb FC ports or 8 x 16Gb FC ports, using SFP+ connections.iSCSI: The array can use up to 8 x 10Gb/1Gb iSCSI ports, using either SFP+ or BaseT connections.
SAS: Up to 8 x 12Gb SAS ports are available for direct connections to servers with SAS HBAs.
