With the new file capabilities introduced in the Dell Unity storage system, administrators gain access to a much more scalable, efficient, and high performing file system than previously available. These benefits are a result of the new 64-bit file system architecture, which also brings improvements in the areas of availability and recoverability. With a rich set of features, the Dell Unity file system has both the power and flexibility to be leveraged for a wide array of traditional and transactional NAS use cases. Also important is the complete unification of file and block in a single platform. Dell Unity bridges the gap between file and block with truly unified pools and features, allowing the core Dell Unity feature set to equally benefit storage environments whether they are NAS, SAN, or a mixture of both.
