Notes

[1] SSD acceleration capacity indicates the amount of usable capacity available within the SSDs after RAID-10 protection and overhead. This number does not consider the capacity gains provided by snapshots or deduplication

[2] Usable integrated storage capacity indicates the amount of capacity available within integrated SSD and SAS drives after RAID-10 protection and overhead. This number does not consider the capacity gains provided by snapshots, deduplication, or compression

[3] Effective integrated storage capacity indicates the amount of capacity available within integrated SSD and SAS drives using an estimated 5:1 blended deduplication and compression ratio considering typical primary and backup storage scenarios

[4] Base capacity license indicates the amount of primary and backup data that can be managed by the system in its default configuration. This data will be stored between the appliance integrated storage and cloud storage depending on many factors including deduplication ratios, compression ratios, and backup policies

[5] Max capacity license indicates the maximum amount of primary and backup data that can be managed by the system when fully
