Select either a 5RU chassis with slots for up to 17 modules (15 applications, 2 controls) or a 1RU “starter system” chassis that holds up to three modules. Then, choose the modules you need for your specific application. As your needs expand, upgrades are as simple as plugging in additional modules.

The ongoing migration to HDTV brings with it the need to efficiently move massive amounts of data, and Harris addresses this requirement with dramatically enhanced bandwidth capabilities for the NEXIO SAN.
