Features and Benefits
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.
