FlexibleHighly Scalable Cost EfficientSimplified
• Affordable TCO
• Efficient storage
• Less power, floor space
• Software-
defined/hardware-
aware
• Unified management
that is exponentially
more efficient than
traditional storage
• Fewer administrative
resources required
• Storage architecture that
delivers data where and
how it is needed
• Support for all
applications — S3,
Swift APIs
• Ability to scale to
petabyte and exabyte
levels
• Guaranteed security,
reliability, availability
at web scale
