Feature-rich, Easy-to-use SAN

Modular Scalable System

Highly Scalable, Flexible Growth and Online Expansion

Storage Center is a highly scalable system that can grow from one to hundreds of terabytes on a single platform. A modular hardware architecture enables you to scale capacity, connectivity and performance incrementally to match demand rather than purchasing resources up front that you may never use.

Highly Scalable Capacity and Connectivity: Scale from a single terabyte to hundreds of terabytes within one system. Simply expand ports with the addition of an I/O card.

Centralized Management: Manage multiple systems from a single, centralized interface.

Expansion Without Downtime: Upgrade to new hardware and software while your data remains online, adding capacity or functionality without disruption or downtime.
