With density, fast performance, and the ability to protect petabytes of data, the DXi9000 is an efficient option for enterprise backup storage. It scales from 51TB to 1PB of useable capacity, using the company’s capacity-on-demand licensing, and the appliance takes advantage of 12TB HDDs. It has a high-density chassis option to enable one petabyte of usable capacity (pre-deduplication) in 10U of rack space. The combination enables customers to protect their data while reducing power and cooling requirements and minimizing the rack footprint associated with storage.
