Base Platform Key Value:

• Flexibility– A single modular platform can address a wide range

of storage and application needs to meet virtually any business objective with a single flexible platform.

• Adaptability– The configuration choices ensure that customers can adapt the

system to meet expanding/changing business objectives.

• Scalability– Extreme capacity and processing density can enable

consolidation efforts, reclaim floor space and lower environmental costs. Innovative dual access chassis design enables easy serviceability in even the largest systems.
