Standard Features

NOTE: One license is required for every server or virtual machine to be deployed. Licenses are non-transferrable. Full details are contained in the End User License Agreement.
RAID 6 (ADG)	RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding) protects against any 2 drive failures. Supported with a minimum of 4 drives, but would have 2 available. Can be supported on all servers. NOTE: Blades not supported until JBOD expander availability

RAID 60	Supported with a minimum of 8 drives, but would have 4 available. A target benefit is to split RAID across the external boxes. Can be supported on all servers. NOTE: Blades not supported until JBOD expander availability

Advanced Capacity Expansion (ACE)	Higher capacity migrations use capacity transformation to remove logical drives by shrinking and then expanding them online.

Mirror Splitting and Recombining in Offline Model	This is similar to a scaled down rollback functionality which requires 2 HDDs (ie, take a RAID 1 and break into 2 RAID 0s).

Drive Erase	Erase physical disk or logical volume securely. Useful to decommission, redeploy, or return hard drives for security purposes.

Performance Optimization	Degraded reads and read coalescing (VOD) - Video on demand performance optimizations that improve latency while video streaming.
