Reduce IT Costs with an Intelligent Software-Defined Storage Solution

Reduce IT costs with an intelligent software-defined storage management solution that uses commodity off-the-shelf servers and disk drivesSignificant CAPEX savings using commodity gear that is at least 30 percent less expensive than average capacity optimized NAS solutions and at least 50 percent less expensive than deploying the average capacity-optimized mid-range disk array.

Reduce IT operational expense with a single storage management tool managing a single storage cluster for your heterogeneous server environment (Linux, UNIX, Windows, VMware).

Optimize infrastructure without growing IT staff with an intelligent solution that continuously monitors data utilization and automatically re-balances data placement without any manual intervention.
