USING HARDWARE RESPONSIBLY
Maintain, redeploy or replace
Consider repairability, remaining support and actual operating demand. Extending service life is useful only when the equipment still meets your security and reliability requirements.
MaintainCheck parts, firmware and service options.
RedeployMatch a suitable role and securely erase any retained data.
Retire responsiblyUse documented data removal and an appropriate electronics recycler.
Compare operating energy
Use measured average input power for the same workload. PSU ratings and processor TDP are different from total system power.
Energy difference = (current W − proposed W) × hours × units ÷ 1,000. Excludes cooling, embodied emissions and purchase costs.
Configurable storage server
Choose your storage server configuration
This server platform can be quoted with supported processors, memory, drives and adapters. Component choices must match its motherboard, backplane, power and cooling requirements.
CONNECTION DETAILS
Network and storage connections
Choose the host adapters around the workload and the storage protocol. A server NIC, Fibre Channel HBA and SAS HBA serve different connections.

Storage controllers
The storage system requires compatible software, network design and support. The quotation includes the selected hardware and software together.
End-to-end HA design
Node resilience is defined by the deployed storage software and cluster topology. Do not infer controller-style HA from a server chassis alone.
Platform and software
Platform, software and expansion
Each quote identifies the software platform, licensed data services and supported expansion limits for the selected storage family.
01
System Architecture
The storage system requires compatible software, network design and support. The quotation includes the selected hardware and software together.
02
Data services
Validated software-defined storage stack, operating system, drivers, firmware and management tooling. Snapshots, replication and immutability are determined by the selected storage software and cluster topology
03
Lifecycle gate
Validate model, release, support region, capacity metric and entitlement owner.
System Architecture
Storage topology
The diagram identifies the main system components without depicting another chassis.
Every enclosure, drive, cable and rail must be supported by the exact platform configuration.
01
Base and expansion rule
Internal media, external expansion and cluster-node balance must follow the selected solution bill of materials and published interoperability rules.
02
Host protocols and ports
High-speed Ethernet
InfiniBand where configured
NVMe over the selected storage software stack
Availability, speed, port count, optics and adapter type must be confirmed for the exact controller and software release.
03
Drive and media compatibility
Model-qualified E1.S or E3.S NVMe SSDs
System-matched boot or metadata media
Approved high-speed NICs, DPUs, optics and cables
The final BOM includes only manufacturer-qualified media for the model, enclosure and software release.
Capacity Planning
Raw, usable and effective capacity
These terms are not interchangeable. Capacity planning starts with the required usable result and documents every deduction or assumption.
01
Raw capacity
Sum of installed media before parity, sparing, metadata, formatting and system reserves.
02
Usable capacity
Capacity available after the selected protection layout and mandatory system overhead.
03
Effective capacity
A workload-dependent planning value that may include compression, deduplication or thin provisioning.
Supported capacity limits
Raw media is not application capacity. The storage software protection scheme, metadata, reserve, filesystem and data efficiency determine usable and effective results.
RAID, parity and data protection
Protection policy supplied by the selected storage software
Node, NIC, switch and power failure-domain planning
Cluster-level replication or erasure coding where configured
Software platform
Software, copies, licensing and security
Hardware and software are quoted as one supportable system while licenses, subscriptions and service terms stay visible as separate BOM decisions.
Storage-software capacity, node, support and feature entitlements are quoted with the exact chassis and media population
03
Snapshots and replication
Snapshots, replication and immutability are determined by the selected storage software and cluster topology
04
Security and cyber recovery
Secure boot, platform firmware, drive sanitization, management identity, network isolation and software data protection are reviewed together
Quotation Structure
Storage configuration and quote structure
Storage systems are quoted by architecture, usable capacity, host access, software features and lifecycle coverage.
01
Controllers, nodes and cache
Controller count, node role, mirrored cache or NVRAM behavior, management plane and failover mode are confirmed before pricing.
Node memory, cache or journal media and metadata protection follow the selected software-defined storage stack.02
Expansion shelves and media packs
Base enclosure, shelves, drive packs, rails, power, shelf I/O modules and cables stay visible as separate order lines.
Internal media, external expansion and cluster-node balance must follow the selected solution bill of materials and published interoperability rules.03
Protocols and host access
FC, iSCSI, NVMe-oF, NFS, SMB or S3 access is validated with host software, optics, adapters and the exact storage release.
High-speed Ethernet, InfiniBand where configured, NVMe over the selected storage software stack04
Data services, licenses and support
Snapshots, replication, encryption, ransomware protection, capacity metrics, software term and service SLA are priced as named entitlements.
Storage-software capacity, node, support and feature entitlements are quoted with the exact chassis and media population05
Capacity plan
The quotation lists raw, usable and effective capacity separately and allows for growth, spare capacity and rebuild overhead.
Raw media is not application capacity. The storage software protection scheme, metadata, reserve, filesystem and data efficiency determine usable and effective results.
Expansion Planning
Expansion equipment and part numbers
Capacity growth is treated as a controlled array expansion, not a loose drive purchase. The quote keeps enclosures, media, ports, cables, licenses and service changes visible.
01
Controllers, nodes and cache
The storage system requires compatible software, network design and support. The quotation includes the selected hardware and software together.
02
Expansion shelves and media packs
Internal media, external expansion and cluster-node balance must follow the selected solution bill of materials and published interoperability rules.
