Single-Instance Storage (Dedup)
When data is sent to multiple users, single-instance storage allocates data to be stored once, eliminating the need to duplicate data storage. This results to reduced data storage and improved data backups. Single-instance storage is most functional when transferring data to large distribution directories by improved delivery efficiency.
No Windows Server CALs Required

With this, business users will not have to go through the trouble of obtaining authorization of pre-user or pre-device. With no CALs required, users are able to access data on demand, without the troubles of CALs.
PCI-e Gen2

While doubling the transfer rate of the previous PCI-e, the PCI-e Gen2 provides the same bandwidth as the PCI-e but with only half its lanes. The target is to save on cost and provide an improved PCI-e for users. The Gen2 provides a significant improvement on system performance over the PCI-e; users can now enjoy faster transfer speeds and connectivity.
