Frequently Asked Questions
How much raw capacity can 90 bays hold?
With high-capacity enterprise nearline drives a single chassis reaches well into the multi-petabyte range; we populate drive size and count to your capacity and budget targets.
Can this feed GPU training pipelines?
Yes — configured with high-throughput networking and NVMe caching it serves as a capacity tier behind faster all-flash storage. We design the tiering so it does not bottleneck GPUs.
Is this a NAS appliance?
No, it is a storage server platform for software-defined storage or as a NAS/SAN head. For turnkey appliances we offer separate solutions and advise on the right fit.
