About the NEC iStorage M120 Hybrid Flash Array

The NEC iStorage M120 is an entry-enterprise hybrid flash array designed for mid-size data centers requiring cost-efficient block storage with balanced performance and capacity. The system combines solid-state drives with high-capacity mechanical drives in a unified architecture, enabling organizations to optimize storage economics while maintaining responsive I/O for mixed workloads. The M120 supports standard SAN protocols and integrates with existing enterprise storage management frameworks.

The array delivers tiered storage capabilities through intelligent data placement, automatically migrating frequently accessed data to flash tier while maintaining capacity efficiency through mechanical drive allocation. Built on NEC's proven iStorage platform, the M120 provides redundancy, snapshot functionality, and thin provisioning to support modern virtualized and containerized environments.

Ideal for

  • Virtualized infrastructure consolidation in mid-size data centers
  • Mixed-workload block storage for departmental SAN environments
  • Development and test database environments requiring capacity efficiency
  • Tier-2 production workloads with moderate performance requirements
  • Multi-tenant hosting platforms with variable I/O patterns
  • Enterprise backup and disaster recovery target storage
