It is specifically tailored for small to medium-sized enterprises that require centralised storage for efficient resource allocation. The kit includes a 12-drive enclosure, allowing for easy expansion of storage capacity using SATA hard drives. This makes it a cost-effective option as it supports lower-cost SATA drives while maintaining robust features.
