Description

The Dell PowerVault ME5024 is a high-availability, dual-controller array from Dell’s ME5 series designed for enterprise block storage workloads. Equipped with **32Gb Fibre Channel (FC) dual controllers** and a full all-flash configuration, it delivers low latency and high throughput, ideal for mission-critical applications that demand both speed and resilience.

In this configuration, you get **eight (8) × 3.84TB 2.5-inch SSDs**, giving raw flash capacity of ~30.72TB, and when configured in **RAID-6**, usable capacity is about ~24TB after parity. This makes the array perfect for storing critical data, analytics, virtualization, or high-IOPS database workloads where data protection is crucial.

The dual controller setup ensures that if one controller fails, the other takes over seamlessly, contributing to system uptime and reliability. With **fiber optic interface ports supporting FC-16 (16GB FC) over SFP** optics, connectivity is suitable for FC SAN environments looking to leverage 32Gb FC backbone with backward compatibility.

Power delivery is also enterprise-grade: dual 580W redundant power supplies are included to protect against PSU failure. Mechanical construction includes 2U rack rails and bezel components from the ME series for proper rack installation and front-panel access.

For organizations wanting to buy ME5024, this all-flash ME5024 system offers a strong balance between performance, data protection (RAID-6), and storage density. It is especially well suited for SAN/DAS use in data centers, virtualization platforms, VDI, backup targets, or any workload needing high IOPS or low latency.

Key Features

  • Dual 32Gb FC Type-B controllers (8 ports) delivering high bandwidth and redundancy. 32Gb FC storage
  • Full all-flash storage with 8 × 3.84TB SSD (2.5″), optimized for latency, throughput, and endurance. all-flash RAID6
  • RAID-6 configuration for fault tolerance—able to sustain two concurrent drive failures without data loss. enterprise block storage
  • Redundant power supplies (2 × 580W), rack rails, and ME Series 2U bezel for proper rack mounting and serviceability. high availability ME5
  • Fiber channel interface with SFP optics supporting FC-16 / 16GB speeds, ensuring SAN connectivity with high throughput. fiber channel array

Compatibility

The Dell PowerVault ME5024 supports hot-swappable 2.5-inch SSDs of supported formats; ensure the SSDs are Dell-validated flash models to guarantee endurance and firmware compatibility. Also verify that the FC SFP optics used match the required standard (32Gb FC, FC-16, etc.).

It works with standard SAN fabrics that support 32Gb Fibre Channel; backwards compatibility to 16Gb FC may be supported depending on optics/cables. Connectivity to hosts should be done using supported HBA cards or switches certified for these speeds.

Firmware, controller version, and software (Dell PowerVault Manager, OpenManage, etc.) should be updated to the latest release to ensure support for RAID features, array management, and performance optimizations.

Power and cooling infrastructure in the rack needs to support continuous load from all-flash array with dual PSUs. Rack rails and bezel must match Dell’s ME Series 2U specifications to allow proper airflow and accessibility.

Usage Scenarios

1) SAN for Virtualization Clusters: With dual 32Gb FC controllers and all-flash SSDs, this array is ideal as shared storage backing VMware vSphere, Hyper-V or other virtualization platforms. High IOPS and low latency help with VM boot storms, datastore operations, and live migration.

2) Database / Transactional Workloads: The RAID-6 protection and fast SSDs make this configuration well suited for SQL/Oracle/MariaDB workloads or high-volume OLTP applications where data integrity and performance are both essential.

3) VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure): Supporting many simultaneous desktops, the fast SSD base, FC connectivity, and redundancy make this array good for VDI infrastructures where peak loads and latency matter.

4) Backup / Archive Target or Dev/Test Storage: While it is an all-flash system, it can also serve as a high-speed backup target or dev/test storage where speed is needed; its FC connectivity allows easy integration into SAN infrastructures.

5) Mixed Workload Tiering / Caching Layer: Use this ME5024 to handle high-performance tier (hot data or caching), while cooler or cold data resides elsewhere; its RAID-6 and fiber channel performance help reduce IO bottlenecks in hybrid storage architectures.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Q: What is the expected performance benefit of using 32Gb FC dual controllers over lower speed options?
    A: Using 32Gb Fibre Channel dual controllers reduces latency and increases throughput for SAN workloads. It helps in supporting more simultaneous IO operations and better performance under peak load compared to 16Gb or 8Gb FC, especially for all-flash SSD systems.
  2. Q: How much usable storage do I get and how many drive failures can RAID-6 sustain?
    A: In this configuration, with 8 × 3.84TB SSDs in RAID-6, you get ~24TB usable capacity after parity overhead. RAID-6 can sustain up to two drive failures without losing data, provided the failures are not within the same failure domain (e.g. same controller or power rail).
  3. Q: Are these SSDs suitable for write-intensive workloads? What about endurance?
    A: SSDs in Dell’s ME5 arrays are enterprise-grade models; choosing SSDs with higher endurance (e.g. mixed-use or write-intensive rated) is recommended if you expect heavy write load. Also ensure firmware is up to date for performance and endurance optimizations.
  4. Q: Can I integrate this ME5024 array into my existing SAN/Fibre Channel infrastructure?
    A: Yes — with compatible FC switches and host HBAs supporting 32Gb FC, plus matching SFP optics. The dual-FC controllers enable high availability and failover; the ME5024 supports integration into SAN fabric and direct attach configurations.
