The Lightning 9900

™

Series is offered in two models – the 9960 and the 9910. The

9960 is recommended for users requiring large storage capacities of 88+ TB of raw storage
capacity. With the same advanced architecture as the Lightning 9960, the 9910 bridges the
gap between standard mid-range and premium priced advanced function storage. With
capacities up to 8+ TB of storage, the 9910 is recommended for users who require advanced
function capabilities of premium storage, yet do not need the actual storage capacity of the
9960. Table 1 compares key differences between the two  product offerings in the Lightning
9900

™

Series.
