PRODUCT GUIDE: DELL/EMC AX100I

The AX100i is truly a low-end iSCSI SAN solution. Initial setup and
normal administrative tasks are simple and straightforward, but key
components of an iSCSI SAN, such as jumbo-frame support, are missing. As
such, performance pales to local disk and other iSCSI storage networking
solutions. The performance seen in the lab suggests that this SAN is
suitable only for data archiving or file storage tasks.
