Accelerate your Workloads, Automate your Savings The Dell EMC SC5020 is the perfect solution for businesses looking to optimize their data center for economics while still delivering top-of-the-line performance. With its modern architecture and transformational SSD, HDD, or hybrid capabilities, the SC5020 makes storage cost savings automatic. All-New Hardware Platform The SC5020 is the next-generation successor to the popular SC4020 array, designed to be a performance powerhouse. With dual 8-core Intel processors, 4x more memory, and a 12Gb SAS back end, the SC5020 delivers up to 45% more IOPs, 3X more bandwidth, and 2X greater max capacity. Its compact 3U chassis includes 30 drive bays and dual hot-swappable controllers, providing up to 460TB raw capacity in a single unit. And with the ability to scale up to 2PB per array, the SC5020 offers even larger scale-out potential in federated multi-array systems. Intelligent Advantage for Modern Workloads The SC5020 features Data Progression, which dynamically tunes multiple drive tiers and manages RAID levels based on actual use and application performance requirements. This ensures that data is always precisely where it's needed, balancing high IOPs with cost savings. Additionally, the SC5020 offers a 0-100% flash architecture, allowing businesses to target specific price/performance ratios with any mix of SSDs and HDDs and modify the mix as their needs change. Intelligent Data Reduction The SC5020 also features Deduplication and Compression, which are applied dynamically at a sub-LUN level to optimize performance and reduce capacity needs throughout the data lifecycle. This integrated data reduction saves money on both SSDs and HDDs in hybrid systems. Low-Cost Business Continuity The SC5020 offers seamless volume-level auto-failover between local and remote arrays, ensuring that mission-critical applications can continue running during unexpected outages and disasters. Its Live Volume feature is native to SCOS, eliminating the need for extra hardware or software to create an always available storage environment. Reliable SC Series Investment Protection Despite its low initial and lifecycle costs, the SC5020 includes all the advanced tools and integrations needed to ensure that your array continues to provide value as your business grows and matures. These include Dell Storage Manager for intuitive control and monitoring, thin clones for easily creating thousands of volume copies, data-at-rest encryption for added security, and integration with PS Series (EqualLogic) arrays for unified management and bi-directional replication. 4:1 All-Flash Storage Efficiency Guarantee The SC5020 offers an efficient solution for any configuration, but for businesses concerned about expense when deploying all-flash configurations, Dell EMC guarantees 4:1 efficiency. This means that our all-flash arrays will provide an effective logical storage capacity at least four times the physical capacity of your purchased drives, or we'll give you more drives at no charge.
