Scalability

XIV technology is designed to be scalable in all key aspects, including capacity, interfaces, cache, CPU power, and internal bandwidth. The architecture supports each aspect to grow independently, yielding a truly scalable system in both capacity and performance.

The result is a dynamic, future-proof system that is capable of growing to meet changing needs.

Scales in all key aspects - The system is fully scalable with regard to all key aspects of the system, including disk capacity, interfaces, cache, CPU power, and internal bandwidth.

Smooth upgrading - The architecture's use of standard components ensures smooth scaling to a maximal configuration, and integration of up-to-date technologies at any time. The XIV system offers seamless, effortless, and non-disruptive hardware upgrades, with automatic load balancing between new and old hardware.
