Product Overview:
With the FS7600 Series, an EqualLogic group can serve up to 509TB of usable capacity for file storage, all within a single namespace. To help improve storage flexibility and utilization, the EqualLogic FS7600 Series features a virtualization layer that lets you expand NAS storage dynamically without any downtime.
