Consolidation. Reduce the number of storage systems, maximize storage utilization, improve storage administrators’ productivity, and bring SAN, iSCSI, and network attached storage (NAS) under one storage and management umbrella. The AMS1000 supports any two of these protocols per system.

Tiered Storage Deployment. Benefit from the economy of solutions that match application requirements and value of data to the right class of storage and move data between storage tiers (Fibre Channel and SATA) as needed.

Scalability and Performance. Meet application service level agreements, and provide unequalled capacity and configuration flexibility compared to traditional modular storage.

Business Continuity. Leverage TrueCopy software to create a single infra- structure for local and remote replication, backup, or disaster recovery. TrueCopy software works in synchronous and extended distance modes for local or long-distance replication.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Maximize storage utilization and efficiency and improve storage administrators’ productivity.
