File-level volumes can be used for file sharing, D2D backup and IP video surveillance. The advanced RAID configuration of the DPS2000 NAS allows users to increase capacity through physical HDD migration. In addition, the virtual appliance stacking feature enables multiple DPS2000 units to be stacked together for increased capacity and volumes.
