High rack density and low cost per GB
Dell Storage Center with FS8600 and SCv2080 storage arrays offer ideal rack density for storage-intensive workloads, providing:
- Best storage density compared to the top five storage vendors, storing 1PB of raw capacity in 14U rack space2
- Low cost per GB of USD $0.18/GB for 1PB of raw capacity3
- Increased efficiency with scale-out architecture, flash optimization, automated tiering and built-in policy-driven, block-level deduplication and compression
- Unencumbered capacity with NAS thin provisioning and space reclamation
