Dual-Active Architecture – Unity uses both Storage Processors (SP) to serve host I/O and run data operations in an active/active manner to make efficient use of all available hardware resources and optimizing performance, cost, and density in customer data centers.
• Truly Unified Offering – Unity delivers a full block and file unified environment in a single 2U enclosure. Use the same Pool to provision and host LUNs,Consistency Groups, NAS Servers, File Systems, and Virtual Volumes alike. The Unisphere management interface offers a consistent look and feel whether you are managing block resources, file resources, or both.
• A Modern, Simple Interface – Unisphere, Unity's management interface has been built with the modern-day data center administrator in mind. Using browsernative HTML5, Unisphere can be used across various Operating Systems and web browsers without the need of additional plug-ins. The interface has been designed to mimic the practical flow of an administrator's daily life, organizing provisioning and management functions into easy-to-find categories and sections.
• Flexible Deployment Options – With Unity, a deployment offering exists for a range of different use cases and budgets, from the virtual offering of UnityVSA to the purpose-built Unity platform. The purpose-built Unity system can be configured as an All Flash system with only solid-state drives, or as a Hybrid system with a mix of solid state and spinning media to deliver the best on both performance and economics.
