*NetApp® HCI effective capacity calculation accounts for NetApp SolidFire Helix® data protection; system overhead; and
global efficiencies, including compression, deduplication, and thin provisioning. Customers typically achieve an effective
capacity range of 5 times to 10 times the (usable) capacity, depending on application workloads.
