It enables backup to a private, public or partner cloud and features 65TB of useable storage capacity
Think About It
The "Internet of Things" (IoT) is opening up a new world of data interchange between devices, sensors, and applications, enabling businesses to monitor, in real time, the health and performance of products long after they leave the production premises.
