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
