The DS5020 supports up to four hosts in a redundant direct-attached Fibre Channel
configuration. When using Fibre Channel or Ethernet switches, you can redundantly
connect up to 512 hosts to the DS5020 FC and iSCSI host ports. You can order up
to 128 storage partitions for the DS5020.

The DS5020 storage subsystem has ac power and fan units.

The DS Storage Manager client is also available for the DS5020. This storage
management software is designed to help centralize storage management, help
simplify partitioning of the DS5020 storage subsystem, and strategically allocate
storage capacity to maximize storage space.
