For More Details
- SC 7020F Data Progression optimizes drive tiers and RAID levels, while Live Volume maintains seamless business continuity through auto-failover between arrays.
- Performance and cost
By default, all new data is written to fastest Tier 1 drives at RAID 10 performance levels, then converted to economical RAID 5/6 for subsequent reads.
- All-Flash storage with good value for money
All-Flash’s active/active, performance-centric design keeps IOPS and throughput high as you scale up and out, while ensuring every dollar you spend is targeted directly on application acceleration.
- Data protection with Data Instant Replay and Remote Instant Replay. Sync/async replication across IP networks, deduped for efficiency.
