The FAS2050 is a cost effective system which has been designed to push the threshold of high storage density in a small space, increase connectivity options and improve manageability in the SMB market place. The FAS2050 has dual controllers and disk drives integrated into a single chassis and has lead offerings for iSCSI and RemoteOffice/Branch Office (ROBO) market segments.
With up to 15TB of integrated storage capacity and dual active controllers in a compact 4U form factor, the FAS2050 easily scales up to meet growing enterprise demands by simply adding up to six DS14mk4FC and/or DS14mk2AT expansion shelves. With this ability, the FAS2050 can scale up to 104 drives and 104TB of total storage.
