Adaptive- ArcStorage solutions can be configured as NAS or SAN storage and easily adapt to any administrator's needs. Reliable - ArcStorage products provide reliable storage using industry standard components and ZFS checksums to ensure data integrity and prevent data corruption. Continuous- ZFS embedded in ArcStorage provides high data integrity with features like checksums, deduplication, compression, snapshots and more.

2. Adaptive- ArcStorage solutions adapt to all environments and can be set up as a unified NAS or
enterprise class SAN architecture from a single array and easily adapts to any storage administrators
need!
Reliable - Built on the reliability of industry standard components and interconnect technologies and
through using ZFS as the base OS layer, ArcStorage products provide a 256-bit checksum for end to end
data validation and accuracy. Long gone are the days of data corruption!
Continuous- Features embedded within ZFS provide the highest level of data integrity. Technologies
built in are; 128-bit file system, 256-bit checksums, Data De-duplication, Disk Compression, Dynamic
Striping, Snapshots, Clones, Copy on Write, Variable Block Sizing, Cache Management, Hot Sparing,
Double Parity with Raid-Z, Data Encryption and many many more features!
