As your business grows, consider upgrading to the DS6200 for higher performance. No data migration, reestablishing LUNs, or changing licenses is needed with this upgrade.

For ultimate flexibility, the DS Series supports replication between its new 12Gb platform and first-generation S Series systems. This enables you to move your high-performance workloads to the faster DS Series and redeploy the older models as data lakes or replication targets.

Implement with value

With performance and value in mind, and equipped with enterprise-class features, the DS4200 is designed to fit your needs now and in the future.
