Storage
How much usable storage capacity does your pool need?
TB
Estimate the needs of your workloads, and we’ll engineer the right-sized cloud storage configuration.
How much performance do you want your storage pool to provide?
Low
Medium
High
Extreme
Storage nodes composed of SATA HDDs, with a small number of SSDs for cache and metadata.
How would you like to protect your data?
Performance optimized
Capacity optimized
Replication typically results in better performance but requires more raw storage. We recommend 3 replicas in this configuration.

Standard resilience is our recommendation
Dual network interconnect
n+1 compute nodes
2 power supplies (PSU) and 2 network cards (NIC) in every appliance
How much fault tolerance do you want in your network fabric?
Non-redundant (single interconnect)
Highly available (dual interconnect)
