Refurbished Dell PowerVault MD3260Refurbished Dell PowerVault MD3260

Maximize your IT budget with refurbished or used Dell PowerVault MD3260 storage. The PowerVault MD3260 is part of Dell's MD3 Series of storage arrays. The Dell MD3 series introduces the next generation of affordable storage. Whether you need to consolidate your storage, support the demands of data intensive applications or optimize your virtual environments, the MD3 series has been designed to meet your growing business needs. The versatility of the MD3 series lets you decide the protocol, supports a wide range of drive types, and has many optional premium software features that you can add as you choose.

The MD3 family includes the high density enclosure with built in high performance tiering. If your industry is manufacturing, oil/gas, healthcare, or video surveillance, the MD3 has the high bandwidth that you need to manage your data. The high density enclosures take up less space than if you purchased the smaller form factor enclosures with an equal number of hard drives by using just 4U. With this smaller footprint comes the added benefit of saving on power and cooling expenses.
