Achieve a low total cost of ownership

Facing relentless data growth and shrinking budgets, companies continue to look for ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Eight Gbps Fibre Channel allows companies to reduce the number of host bus adapters per server and the number of overall ports in their Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN) infrastructure without sacrificing performance, thus saving acquisition and operational costs.

Additionally, auto-negotiating 8 Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces allow the DS5020 Express to integrate seamlessly into an existing 2 Gbps or 4 Gbps infrastructure, while offering investment protection going forward when the SAN inevitably becomes 8 Gbps.

The system is designed to help you avoid over-configuration for an affordable entry-point while offering seamless “pay-as-you-grow” scalability as requirements change. Its efficient storage use is designed to reduce raw capacity requirements. The ability to intermix high-performance and high-capacity drives enables tiered storage in a single enclosure. These unique abilities reduce the number of drives needed to meet performance and capacity demands and can significantly reduce acquisition and operational costs.
