Expansion Capacity

Scale-out architecture
Distributed fully symmetric clustered architecture that combines modular storage with OneFS operating system in a single volume, single namespace, and single filesystem.

Expansion enclosures
Minimum cluster size: 3 nodes
Maximum cluster size: 252 nodes

Connectivity

Front End Networking (per node):
Dual port 25G NIC supporting 10G or 25G connections (SFP+/SFP28) 
Dual port 100G NIC supporting 40G or 100G connections  

Infrastructure Networking (per node):
Dual port 25G NIC supporting 10G or 25G connections (SFP+/SFP28) 
Dual port 100G NIC supporting 40G or 100G connections (QSFP+/QSFP28)

Software

OneFS 9.2.1 or later. Upgrades are non-disruptive
PowerScale OneFS distributed file system creates a cluster with a single file system and single global namespace. It is fully journaled, fully distributed, and has a globally coherent write/read cache.

Data Optimisation

Efficiency
SmartDedupe data deduplication option, which can reduce storage requirements by up to 35 percent. Inline data reduction and compression.
2:1 DRR guarantee

Network protocol support
NFSv3, NFSv4, NFSoRDMA, NFS Kerberized sessions (UDP or TCP), SMB1 (CIFS), SMB2, SMB3, SMB3-CA, Multichannel, HTTP, FTP, NDMP, SNMP, LDAP, HDFS, S3, ADS, NIS reads/writes.

Automated storage tiering
Policy-based automated tiering options including SmartPools and CloudPools software to optimise storage resources and lower costs.

Data retention
SmartLock policy-based retention and protection against accidental deletion.

Data replication
SyncIQ fast and flexible one-to-many file-based asynchronous replication between clusters. SmartSync provides efficient file to file and file to object data movement.

Data Protection
