Likelihood to Recommend	DataDirect Networks (DDN) Well suited for large data repositories, like video storage, data lake, etc. Wide and deep and does not take up multiple racks. Easily grows with your needs as one can drop in more disks when needed, as you grow.

Pros	DataDirect Networks (DDN) Large storage array Fibre channel storage using RAID arrays Each SFA can grow with one master and up to 4 slaves Up to PB or more of storage Incentivized Mark Lewandowski Sr Network and Systems Engineer Read full review	DataDirect Networks (DDN) No answers on this topic
Cons	DataDirect Networks (DDN) The Disk array appliances load disks from the top Cabler management is more than 4 feet long. Hard to find a rack it really fits in. Interconnects between units need to be more seamless and easier to understand.

Alternatives Considered	DataDirect Networks (DDN) IBM is close to the Platinum level but DDN comes in large and cheaper but with a bit less features. Incentivized Mark Lewandowski Sr Network and Systems Engineer Read full review	DataDirect Networks (DDN) No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	DataDirect Networks (DDN) ROI is that it seems very economical for massive video camera storage. Dedicate a rack to it. Best if all units are next to each other but do not have to be. Incentivized Mark Lewandowski Sr Network and Systems Engineer Read full review	DataDirect Networks (DDN) No answers on this topic
