Supports high-performance processors with low-power
■
consumption.
Provides high-capacity intra-appliance switching
■
bandwidth, along with high I/O throughput.
Available internal storage capacities of 9 TB, or 36 TB
■
without optional external storage shelves. The available
capacity can be allocated either in part or in whole to a
deduplication pool or to an AdvancedDisk pool
(non-deduplicated storage).
64GB, up to a maximum of 512GB
Note:
When you purchase the first expansion storage
shelf, the Storage Expansion kit that comes with the storage
shelf includes a replacement of 256GB memory. A Memory
Expansion kit containing eight 32GB DIMM memory chip
is needed to support the fifth storage shelf.
The deduplication engine provides up to 100 times
reduction in storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar
levels of bandwidth reduction.
Due to fingerprinting and RAID redundancy, the overall
storage capabilities are not a simple multiplication of the
disk size and the total number of disks.
Supports redundant hot-swappable disks and power
modules.
