Reliable, Highly Available Block Storage with Enterprise-Class Performance

The UC3400 is a SAN storage solution featuring fully redundant hardware and high availability features designed to ensure continuous access to business critical data, helping to reduce the risks of data loss and downtime.

• Over 690,000/180,000 4K random read/write IOPS3 support high-performance applications
• Support for Fiber Channel and iSCSI enables flexible deployment options and seamless integration with existing storage infrastructure
• Active-active dual controller design ensures zero downtime in the event of a controller failure
• Inter-connectivity through a high-speed Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) between the two controllers allows for seamless transitions between nodes should one controller become unavailable
• Hot-swappable dual power supplies provide redundancy, preventing service downtime in the event of a power supply failure

Certified Virtualization Storage Solution

UC3400 is a cost-effective, powerful, and simple storage solution for virtualization environments.

• Support for Windows Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX), VMware vSphere Storage APIs Array Integration (VAAI), and ALUA ensure optimized and efficient storage operations
• OpenStack® Cinder support enables UC3400 to become a block-based storage component

Built-in Data Protection

UC3400 provides resilient data protection with a simplified management interface while maximizing service uptime for critical services.

• LUNs can be protected efficiently with Snapshot Replication. Using application-aware snapshots and fast recovery options, IT teams can quickly roll back any unintended changes and recover virtual machines in LUNs in the event of a disaster.
• Self-encrypting drive (SED) support offers enhanced data security and helps organizations meet regulatory compliance requirements. SEDs provide an additional layer of data protection by encrypting sensitive information at rest, which minimizes the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.

Flexible Expansion and Networking Options

Easily accommodate different or changing operating environments with simple storage capacity and network expansion.

• Simple capacity expansion of up to 576 TB of raw storage is available with two Synology RXD1219sas Expansion Units2
• Networking can be expanded from the 10GbE and dual 1GbE RJ-45 ports to 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards or 16 Gigabit Fibre channel host bus adapters on each controller4
