Agnostic to Applications and Storage

Click image to enlarge

Storwize appliances reduce storage capacity utilization between 50 - 90% without performance degradation. Our STN-6000 series data reduction appliances increase the capacity of existing storage infrastructure helping organizations meet the demands of rapid data growth while also enhancing storage performance and utilization. The result is unprecedented cost savings, ROI, operational and environmental efficiencies.

The STN-6000 series addresses data reduction at primary storage so your capacity is optimized across all tiers of storage. The appliance installs transparently in front of your existing NAS storage and thru patented real-time compression reduces the size of every file created.
