Storage Capacity Upgrade

Storage capacity upgrades are either base capacity upgrades that are factory-built when the base unit is assembled, or field capacity upgrades that are installed in the field. They add capacity to the base unit, which has two storage disk enclosures (150TB native capacity).

A storage capacity upgrade kit is packaged as two storage disk enclosures. Up to three upgrade kits can be installed in a VSM 7 base unit, for a total of four (375TB), six (600TB), or eight (825TB) storage disk enclosures in the unit.
