Smart-1 7000-XL
Large-scale management with NVMe SSDs, up to 60,000 logs/s and licensed expansion to thousands of gateways.
Overview
The Smart-1 7000-XL supports management operations with high event volumes that prioritise NVMe storage. The chassis accommodates six 4 TB SSDs, expandable to twelve, allowing retention and redundancy to be tailored to the investigation profile. Its initial configuration provides 17.4 TB usable capacity in RAID 5; twelve drives in RAID 50 provide 34.9 TB. RAM can expand from 256 GB to 384 GB. The platform supports Multi-Domain operation, and growth beyond Base/Plus packages depends on licensing and management service sizing. Selection criteria: Choose this model when 200/400 Base/Plus gateways and up to 34.9 TB usable capacity in RAID 50 meet the initial plan. Compare it with the 7000-UL if the log rate or retention requirements call for higher-capacity SSDs. To grow beyond 400 gateways, size gateway expansion and Multi-Domain licensing separately.
