Application Needs Have Changed

…but customers don’t want to pay a premium to store it

Unstructured Data Video / CDN Cloud

Data storage needs are growing constantly…

Hardware Requirements for unstructured data deployments

MUST HAVE

Best Sequential I/O

Low Cost Per GB

Manage Massive Scale (Petabytes) of Data

Should not need

High IOPS

File/Block Size Limitations

The Hardware Platform that should be able to achieve massive scale of

compute, local storage and networking at low $/TB

• Designed for large unstructured data repositories, media streaming

and content distribution

• High-performance compute and storage throughput

• Stand-alone CIMC Management

• Up to 240TB (with 4TB HDD) and 360TB (with 6TB HDD) of dense

storage in a compact 4U Form Factor that fits in a standard rack
