Feature

Description

Processor

One (1) Intel® 3106 1.7GHz 8-core processor.

Appliance software version

Flex - version 1.3 or higher

Performance and capacity

  • Operates as a stand-alone solution or as an end point in a hub and spoke environment.

  • Acts as an integrated backup appliance that does both backup and deduplication.

  • Available internal storage capacities of 14TBs. The available capacity can be allocated either in part or in whole to a deduplication pool or to an AdvancedDisk pool (non-deduplicated storage).

Space reduction

The deduplication engine provides up to 100 times reduction in storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar levels of bandwidth reduction.

The type of data can impact the amount of storage reduction that is performed.

Scalable architecture

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.

High availability

Supports the redundant hot-swappable disks and power modules.

RAID levels

RAID 1 (standard mirroring) and RAID 10 (block level striping with double distributed parity) are implemented as follows:

  • Appliance system disks: RAID 1

  • Appliance storage disks: RAID 10

Note:

The disk drives in the appliance are pre-formatted before the appliance is shipped. These drives should not be moved into different slots or otherwise rearranged.

Rear panel ports
