Largest and Most Scalable File System 500X More Scalable than Traditional Storage Systems OneFS™ can scale from 18TB to over 10,000 TB in a single file system •  Traditional Scale-Up NAS players are limited to 2-16TB max file system

•  Under 60 seconds to scale with no downtime

•  World’s fastest performance and capacity scaling


AutoBalance Automated data balancing across nodes reduces costs, complexity and risks for scaling storage

“Using Software to do Work Unfit for Humans”

•  AutoBalance migrates content to new storage nodes while system is online and in production

• Requires NO manual intervention, NO reconfiguration, NO server or client mount point or application changes

•  Eliminate “Hot Spots” EMPTY
