Protecting Your Competitive Advantage

Dynamic drive pool (DDP) technology allows storage administrators to simplify RAID management, improve data protection, and maintain predictable performance under all conditions. This innovative technology minimizes the performance impact of a drive failure and can return the system to optimal condition up to eight times faster than with traditional RAID. With shorter rebuild times and patented technology to prioritize reconstruction, DDP capabilities significantly reduce exposure to multiple disk failures, offering a level of data protection that cannot be achieved with traditional RAID. With DE Series, all management tasks can be performed while the storage remains online with complete read/write data access. Storage administrators can make configuration changes, conduct maintenance, or expand the storage capacity without disrupting I/O to attached hosts. DE Series nondisruptive administration features include: Dynamic capacity and volume expansion Dynamic segment size migration Dynamic RAID-level migration Non-disruptive firmware updates DE Series all-flash arrays protect against data loss and downtime events, both locally and remotely, using advanced data protection features, including: Snapshot / Volume copy Full drive encryption Eventually, all drives get redeployed, retired, or serviced. When this happens, you do not want your sensitive data going out the door with them. Combining local key management with drive-level encryption gives you comprehensive security for data-at-rest with no impact to performance.
