What Is High Capacity Storage

What Is High-capacity Storage?

From small offices to large enterprises, the act of setting up a local storage solution is often a balancing act between cost, capacity, and performance. High-capacity storage is data storage optimized for cost per capacity ($/GB).

High-capacity storage solutions are designed to accommodate Tier 2 workloads (or higher), such as virtual machines, backups, email, and test/dev environments.

The Benefits of High-capacity Storage

The benefits of deploying your own high-capacity storage solution include:

  • Reduced storage costs
  • The ability to hyper consolidate large volumes of data
  • The flexibility to optimize storage costs by storage tier
  • Optimal storage capacity and performance for Tier 2 workloads

  • Backups, snapshots, and mirroring
  • Multi-cloud test/dev workload consolidation
  • Policy-based VM-tiering
