| Data reduction | Inline compression and deduplication on CPU QAT engines (8 per controller); OEM states compression ratio up to 5:1 (no guarantee published). |
| Protection | RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, RAID 6, InRAID 5, InRAID 6 |
| Protection note | InRAID distributed RAID spreads data and spare blocks over all members and tolerates up to three simultaneous disk failures; T10-PI end-to-end checking; 4-controller cyclic mirroring survives 3 of 4 (7 of 8) controller failures; chassis-level redundancy keeps data online if one disk enclosure fails; InMetro gateway-free SAN/NAS active-active (RPO=0) and 3-data-center DR. |
| Performance and connectivity | |
| Maximum IOPS | n/a |
| Maximum throughput | n/a |
| Latency | n/a |
| Conditions | 2 to 48 controllers in active-active mode; configuration codes -M2D (4U dual-controller) and -M2Q (4U quad-controller); 14 (M2D) or 7 (M2Q) interface cards per controller. Each array scales to 28 I/O slots and 112 host interfaces; inter-controller mirroring bandwidth up to 1.2 TB/s. Max system cache 96 TB (cache_gb_max = 96,000 GB as published in TB). NVMe-oF is listed as a front-end protocol without the transport, so it is not mapped to a protocol key. No IOPS/throughput published. |
