Hardware components • Dell ProSupport™ services: Reduce deployment costs with remote installation options that ensure the project is successful the first time. • Persistent software licensing: Future-proof the investment, and minimize the cost of upgrades and expansions. With up to 1,024 total drives and 6PB2 raw capacity in a single array, the SC9000 is massively scalable. All data is managed through the primary storage controller, deployed in redundant pairs. To expand capacity, you can mix and match from any of the five supported expansion enclosures, depending on your specific performance, cost, or density needs. Options are available for ultra-dense (84 drives in 5U) and high-performance 12Gb SAS enclosures. Adding a new enclosure is simple - the new drives can be automatically assimilated into the existing virtualized pool, or set up as their own standalone pool. Data-in-place upgrades2 make it easy to change controllers and other key components, or migrate from legacy SC Series arrays. 2For specifications, see the SC Hybrid Arrays spec sheet and SC9000 product page. 12 385TB Data Warehouse Fast Track Reference Architecture for Microsoft SQL Server 2017 using Dell EMC PowerEdge R940 and SC9000 | 4032-RA-SQL
