    Features

     

    Technology That Delivers All-Around Simplicity, High-Performance and High-Capacity Entry Storage.

     

    Consolidate your storage with the new PowerVault ME4 Series storage for entry-level SAN and DAS workloads. The ME4 Series is ideal for accelerated performance for HPC, Exchange, backup, VDI and many more applications. Designed for versatility, the ME4 Series supports a variety of drive types, multi-protocols, all-inclusive software features and a choice of two 2U or a high density 5U base systems with expansion enclosure options.

     

    All-Around Simplicity

     

    PowerVault ME4 Series provides features that simplify tasks such as system installation, configuration, and serviceability enabling IT generalists to manage resources more efficiently and focus on the bigger picture.

    Intuitive web-based (HTML5) management
    Simple to order with all-inclusive software
    Customer installable/configurable in 15 minutes
    Easily expandable without disruption

     

    Speed Recovery with ADAPT Software

     

    PowerVault ME4 Series ADAPT software protects data by dynamically distributing it across pools of drives. In the event of a drive failure, ADAPT will identify the critical data and dynamically rebalance the data so the array can return to an optimal state faster than it would in the typical RAID environment.

    Saves time and money
    Faster drive rebuilds
    Add just the capacity you need
    Supports up to 1PB capacity or up to 128 drives
