  Manage your small and midrange business growing storage needs by deploying the next generation 12Gb SAS low cost, flexible tiered external storage system. Ideal for small application environments in SMBs, remote offices and departmental locations as well as tier 2 or 3 storage for enterprise customers.

This allows you to buy what is needed today and purchase additional capacity as data storage needs grow.
