Although these maximums are impressive, the product is designed to scale from entry-level configurations in affordable increments that match the IT organization’s need and budget. A simple implementation process self-deploys and self-configures based on just a few administrator-provided parameters, yet meets the performance requirements of demanding large-file applications such as medical imaging and geophysical exploration.
