Certified Refurbished EMC VNX5200 Unified Storage System: Enterprise-Grade Performance with Intel Xeon E5 Quad-Core 1.2GHz Processors, 32GB Total RAM, 25 x 2.5" Drive Bays, 500TB Maximum Capacity, 3U Form Factor

The certified refurbished EMC VNX5200 is an enterprise-class unified storage system featuring dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 quad-core processors running at 1.2GHz, 16GB RAM per storage processor (32GB total), a 3U Disk Processor Enclosure with 25 x 2.5-inch drive capacity supporting up to 125 drives, and a maximum raw storage capacity of 500TB. This powerhouse delivers exceptional flexibility with multi-protocol support including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FCoE, CIFS, and NFS, making it the perfect solution for organisations requiring robust block, file, or unified storage configurations. Built with EMC's advanced MCx multicore architecture, the VNX5200 maximises processing efficiency across all CPU cores, ensuring optimal performance for virtualised workloads, data centre consolidation, and mission-critical applications.

Ideal Applications

The refurbished VNX5200 excels in midmarket environments and remote office deployments where reliable, scalable storage is essential. Deploy this system as your primary storage infrastructure for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualisation platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) rollouts, database servers requiring low-latency access, file sharing across enterprise networks, and disaster recovery solutions. The unified architecture seamlessly handles both block-level SAN and file-level NAS requirements simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate storage systems and simplifying your infrastructure.

Key Features and Benefits

This certified refurbished unit combines enterprise reliability with cost-effective performance. The MCx multicore architecture implements horizontal system scaling, distributing workloads evenly across all processor cores to prevent bottlenecks and maximise throughput. Symmetric active/active LUN support allows hosts to access storage simultaneously via both storage processors, delivering true redundancy and enhanced performance.

The system supports FAST Suite technology, enabling intelligent flash caching up to 600GB and automated storage tiering. Deploy a hybrid configuration mixing solid-state drives with traditional spinning disks to balance performance and capacity whilst optimising costs. Advanced data reduction features including thin provisioning, block-level deduplication, and compression significantly reduce your storage footprint.

Flexible UltraFlex I/O modules accommodate diverse connectivity requirements with options for 8Gb/s Fibre Channel, 1Gb/s and 10Gb/s iSCSI, and 10Gb/s FCoE. Configure up to 6 block I/O modules per array and support up to 28 total ports, ensuring seamless integration into existing SAN and network infrastructure.
