    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.

    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.
