Dynamic Data Distribution• HX Data Platform stripes data across all nodes simultaneously,
leveraging cache across all SSDs for fast writes• Balanced space utilization: no data migration required following
a VM migration
Systems Built on Conventional File Systems Write Locally, Then Replicate, Creating Performance Hotspots
