Product features
- RAID 6 (ADG)
RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding) protects against any 2 drive failures. - RAID 60
Supported with a minimum of 8 drives, but would have 4 available. A target benefit is to split RAID across the external boxes. - Advanced Capacity Expansion (ACE)
Higher capacity migrations use capacity transformation to remove logical drives by shrinking and then expanding them online. - Mirror splitting and recombining in offline model
This is similar to a scaled down rollback functionality which requires 2 HDDs. - Drive erase
Erase physical disk or logical volume securely. Useful to decommission, redeploy, or return hard drives for security purposes. - Performance optimization
Degraded reads and read coalescing (VOD) - Video on demand performance optimizations that improve latency while video streaming.
