interface that is modern, simple, and clean. The intuitive interface of the E2800
simplifies configuration and maintenance while providing enterprise-level storage
capabilities to deliver consistent performance, data integrity, and security.

Dynamic Disk Pools

Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) technology simplifies the management of traditional RAID
groups by distributing data parity information and spare capacity across a pool of
drives. The DDP technology enhances data protection by enabling faster rebuilds after
a drive failure, protecting against potential data loss if additional drive failures occur.
DDP dynamic rebuild technology uses every drive in the pool to rebuild a failed drive,
enabling exceptional performance under failure.

DDP technology eliminates complex RAID management. With the DDP feature, there
are no idle spares to manage, and you do not need to reconfigure RAID when you
expand your system. Compared with traditional RAID, DDP technology also significantly
reduces the impact on performance after one or more drives fail.
A key feature of DDP technology is the capability to dynamically The E2800 offers multiple form factors and drive technology
