PowerScale Archive NAS
Scale-out architecture: Distributed fully symmetric clustered architecture that combines modular storage with OneFS operating system in a single volume, single namespace, and single filesystem
Modular design: Four self-contained PowerScale nodes include server, software, HDDs and SSDs in a 4U rackmountable chassis. All nodes can be integrated into existing PowerScale and Isilon clusters with backend Ethernet or InfiniBand connectivity

Software
OneFS 9.2.1 or later. Upgrades are non-disruptive
PowerScale OneFS distributed file system creates a cluster with a single file system and single global namespace. It is fully journaled, fully distributed, and has a globally coherent write/read cache.
Data Optimization
Efficiency
SmartDedupe data deduplication option, which can reduce storage requirements by up to 35 percent.
2:1 DRR guarantee
Network protocol support
NFSv3, NFSv4, NFSoRDMA, NFS Kerberized sessions (UDP or TCP), SMB1 (CIFS), SMB2, SMB3, SMB3-CA, Multichannel, HTTP, FTP, NDMP, SNMP, LDAP, HDFS, S3, ADS, NIS reads/writes.
Data replication
SyncIQ fast and flexible one-to-many file-based asynchronous replication between clusters. SmartSync provides efficient file to file and file to object data movement.
Automated storage tiering
Policy-based automated tiering options including SmartPools and CloudPools software to optimize storage resources and lower costs.
Data retention
SmartLock policy-based retention and protection against accidental deletion.
Data Protection
FlexProtect file-level striping with support for N+1 through N+4 and mirroring data protection schemes.
