Notes:
1 The Total Efficiency Guarantee of up to 7:1 for the VSP E990/E790/E590 covers savings from data de-duplication, compression, thin provisioning and snapshots.
2 VSP E790 and E590 controller weight includes internal NVMe SSDs
3 RAID 1 selection mirrors blocks across two drives and then creates a striped set across multiple drive pairs. This is commonly referred to as RAID 1+0.
4 Maximum port count reflect diskless configuration
5 Maximum port count reflects diskless configuration and additional Channel Board Box (2U)
6 15 non-meta Virtual Storage Machines per node shared with NDM and GAD uses of VSMs
1MB = 1,000,000 bytes
1MiB = 1,048,576 bytes
NVMe = non-volatile memory express, SSD = solid state drive
FC = Fibre Channel
iSCSI = Internet Small Computer Systems Interface
