The 9100 Extreme Data Storage System provides the ability to independently configure the system to meet your specific performance or capacity needs. Capacity configurations start at 82TB and can be expanded to 820TB in increments of 82TB blocks. Performance can be scaled linearly by adding anywhere from 2 performance blocks up to 16.

NOTE: The ordering tools will be pre-populated with built-in rules to ensure your ExDS9100 system is properly configured. You will only need to specify the number of performance blocks and the number of capacity blocks; the system will build the appropriate configuration.

Input your configuration parameters from step 2 above. The ordering tool will generate the appropriate system configuration.
