Whenever you add a new storage node, its resources are aggregated into and load balanced across the whole storage system. In other words, every time you add a storage node, you increase the capacity, I/O, and bandwidth of the entire SAN. And you can add storage nodes while the system is online, with no disruption to your SAN. This new approach to storage eliminates performance and capacity limitations of traditional storage systems, reduces up-front system costs and simplifies storage management.
Physical and Virtual SANs
Build a LeftHand SAN using integrated storage systems at your data center and deploy virtual storage systems to extend the SAN to your remote and branch offices for corporate-wide, cost-effective data availability and protection.
