RELATED IDEAS

Data Protect/DMS - support denser x86 servers, external JBODs, Fibre Channel attached storage (i.e. FlashSystem)

Ready Nodes not dense enough per RU in current iteration for large enterprises.

Number of nodes also adds number of networking connections needed / TOR switches.

This adds complexity and cost.

We want to use dense COS-like tech with external JBODs.

If we had a couple head Defender nodes and adjacent to that could attach our SAN.

Our use case is: a couple nodes for rapid restore but we also need a colder tier and want to use nodes we've invested in vs. buying a bunch of the Defender nodes.

We have FlashSystem 9200 and would love to connect those to these Defender nodes.
