Rapidly scale high-density Direct Attach Storage (DAS) with 1U
FD332 storage modules in the FX infrastructure. Create storage
environments that support on-demand balanced data growth. Customize
storage requirements based on running workloads to avoid
over-provisioning. With support for SAS and SATA hard drives/solid
state drives, you can easily adapt to the performance needs of a
variety of applications. Where appropriate, you can create a
software-defined storage environment by combining hard drives and
solid state drives.
