The MR NAS space has been defined by competitors trying to make unified hardware that leverages central processors to manage several different HW platforms for both block and file. The result is HW that goes unused and processing power that is wasted managing unused HW. When customers use these unified platforms for 90 percent block or file, they would be far better to purchase a device that is built specifically for NAS. The HP X5000 is such a solution that is built as a NAS platform with fantastic performance and scalability directly in the box, with 32 Tb internally and two server blades clustered for HA and a building block approach that gives it the highest capacity that can be managed from a single namespace.
