Industry-leading bandwidth and Zero Degraded Mode ensures performance is always delivered at full speed to provide the fastest backup and restore times available today. Powerfully consolidate by reducing the number of disk and tape systems to manage and reclaim valuable floor space with ultra-dense enclosures that house up to 1,200 drives or 2.4PB of capacity, in just two racks. Realize significant power savings with D-MAID, DDN's advanced variable disk power down solution.

The S2A platform represents the most flexible, scalable, high-performance backup and recovery solution available, exhibiting performance 3-5x faster than conventional storage systems. With S2A you can now afford to keep data on disk for a long time--or eliminate tape altogether. S2A works with all the standard backup software products, including NetBackup, Networker, Galaxy and NetVault, among others. So whether you are looking for a virtual tape library, disk-to-disk backup--or both--DDN has the right solution for you, with de-deduplication and replication integrated into its File Storage Systems.

Designed to improve your SLAs, reduce downtime and administration; there are several S2A File Storage Systems that provide a broad range of performance and capacity choices as a streaming disk-based backup target.
