Provides GPU compatibility; great storage and the disc performance in terms of IOPS

Pros

"The storage and the disc performance in terms of IOPS is great."

Cons

"It lacks a modular option to expand to a 16-bay system."

What is our primary use case?

We are customers of Dell and I'm the CEO of the company. 

What is most valuable?

The storage and the disc performance in terms of IOPS is great because of the RAID card which is built-in. The other valuable element of the product is the GPU compatibility which provides us with great graphical performance in the virtual desktops. That aspect is usually a challenge in other solutions.
