What does 2PB of usable storage look like?  This is one of two 2PB (usable) systems recently deployed to a Sheriff's office in Florida.

  • Bulk storage for Forensics teams

  • Car camera storage

  • Body camera storage

  • All-flash SAN storage for VMWare/Hyper-V (IT guys are taking advantage as well)
