(up to 36TB maximum storage size) - Hardware-independent, so customers can use the hardware of their choice

What is more, users will not be stuck with specific hardware, as is the case with many integrated solutions for small / home office use where vendors are combining their software with lower-quality hardware to keep a competitive price. “With Open-E DSS V7 SOHO, users are completely free to decide which hardware they want to buy. Due to the high compatibility of our product almost anything is possible,” said Krzysztof Franek, CEO and president of Open-E.
To ensure quick help for end-users, Open-E also introduced an affordable support option for the product.
