File in Mission-Critical Environments

Amount of files are growing

Many files are as mission critical as block data

General purpose file systems fall short

File in Mission-Critical Environments

Wherever there is Mission-Critical block storage, there is file storage, too

There are two choices to address that fact…

Maintain two infrastructures at higher cost

and complexity

Consolidate into a single infrastructure to reduce cost and complexity


One Infrastructure Is Best

Consolidated Storage CONSOLIDATED

LOWER COST

SPACE EFFICIENT

Common Management

Efficient Footprint

Secure Encryption PROTECT & SECURE
