What is the AMAX "Scale-Up" NAS?
AMAX's Scale-Up NAS solutions are based on the philosophy of maximizing your hardware resources within a single rack footprint. This vertical scaling of systems enables the effective use of virtualization technology, as it provides additional resources for the hosted set of operating system and application modules to share. Start with what you need, and Scale-Up.
Why AMAX Scale-Up NAS?
In the past, storage prices have typically favored "Scale-Out" NAS solutions. More recent advances in virtualization technology have blurred that advantage, since deploying a new virtual system over a hypervisor is almost always less expensive than buying and installing physical hardware. The AMAX Scale-Up NAS solution is built from the ground up, optimized and designed for virtualization. Engineered to ensure optimum performance as you continue to scale, the AMAX solution utilizes an extreme performance NAS head with dual chipsets, multiple expansion slots, and the latest developments in CPUs and high-speed network interconnects.
