Scale up / Scale Out
Scale up simply by adding more storage, flash acceleration, and upgrade the
controllers.
To scale out, grow from a single array to a 6-array cluster with 35PB (SAN) or 12-array cluster
with 70PB (NAS) of capacity. You can cluster with DM Series all-flash models for flexible growth as
your business demands.
