capacity expansion

Great for capacity expansion

For businesses that run out of storage space on server hard drives and need to expand storage capacity  directly to existing servers without adding complexity or increasing IT staff.

Simple solutions for increasing capacity with limited resources

Managing and handling the increasing amount of data that you have to deal with shouldn’t take time away from running your business. That’s why Dell designs direct attached storage (DAS) devices that allow you to quickly and easily expand server storage that has reached maximum capacity.

Business need

  • Volume of data — Data is growing fast and you need to increase storage with limited budgets.
  • Reduce complexity — With limited IT staff, you need simple solutions without adding complexity to your business.

Dell solution

Dell engineers a variety of DAS solutions, based on industry-standard solutions, so that small and medium businesses are free from high-cost proprietary alternatives. Designed to fit how your business works, Dell DAS solutions let you create a tiered storage structure to help you match application workload with the appropriate storage.

Benefits

  • Ease of management — Consolidating data from multiple servers or locations onto a single DAS helps you lower storage management overhead.
  • Ease of use — DAS uses the same technology as your existing server storage, so you can expand storage capacity without adding complexity to your existing infrastructure.
