Features

Accelerate your data
Experience DM Series superior performance and reduce storage latency up to 50% with NVMe over FC. Protect your investment by increasing your storage speed through scale up and adding more controllers as your needs grow. DM Series are perfect for latency-sensitive workloads such as database, VDI, and virtualization.
With DM Series all-flash systems you will:
Get up to 5M IOPS in one cluster
Support 2x more workloads and cut application response times
Leverage Ethernet infrastructure to reduce latency and lower TCO with NVMe over TCP
Future proof and accelerate your system with end-to-end NVMe capability

Optimize your data
Evolve with your performance, capacity, or cloud needs:
Unified architecture to handle NAS and SAN workloads, one management interface, and 3:1 data optimization for TCO reduction.
Seamless cloud tiering and replication enables a multi-cloud environment to streamline data protection, security, efficiency.
Scale up and out with little effort; easily cluster any DM Series for agile growth.
Seamless clustering eliminates data migrations; mix generations of storage controllers and move data from one controller to the other without any downtime.

Protect your data
Data security and peace of mind is a top objective for any organization. DM Series all-flash systems provide industry leading data security to:
Protect against ransomware with preemptive detection and enhanced recovery, based on machine learning.
Safeguard your data from any unexpected disasters using onboard Asynchronous and Synchronous Replication.
Provide hassle-free data protection with onboard data encryption software. Ensure your data is protected without you even have to think about it.
Ensure business continuity with zero data loss in the case of unforeseen disaster with SnapMirror Business Continuity or MetroCluster.
