Video, image and document

File-level Access

Global namespace, fIle can be accessed by 3rd party application directly

Load Balancing

Load balancing based on capacity and performance of each node

Data Recovery

Valid data recovery instead of entire disk recovery

Scalability

Storage Expansion

Scale-out technology, online expansion, with less than 60 seconds for expansion of a single node

Quota Management

Data quota management based on users, user groups and directories, allocation of capacity on demand
