How does DSSD configuration scale, do you have to have two PCI-E cards per "brick" (what's the terminology here, looks like everything at EMC is measured in bricks now).

Thank you Don.

does the system integrate with ESRS, are you sending telemetry via ESRS to provide performance dashboards ? How do you plan on servicing "dark sites" ?

Q3) How do you plan on servicing "dark sites"?

A. For customers that cannot use DSSD Telemetry or EMC ESRS VE, the appliance offers the option of recording the telemetry reports to a locally attached disk. The disk, in the form of a USB stick, is expected to be left attached continuously to the appliance. As a result, the racks must contain sufficient clearance at the front of the chassis to enable continuous insertion.

I hope this helps to answer your question dynamox.

Sincerely,

Don

concerns of theft ? Rogue CE of another company walking away with customer's metadata.

If system has multiple cards, how do you manage multipathing ?  Is DSSD support matrix available in E-Lab ?
