• Sync/async multi-site/multi-appliance replication
• Advanced 256-bit encryption for data at rest and SSL/TLS for data transfers
• Deduplication for file, block, and object volumes

• Tiered storage architecture with hardware/software support and automated storage tiering
• Anti-ransomware for NAS and S3 volumes
