In an XtremIO X2 cluster, the Disk Array Enclosure (DAE) chassis typically contains two Row Controllers. These Row Controllers are responsible for managing the operations of the SSDs within the DAE and ensuring data availability and integrity. The design of the DAE in an XtremIO X2 cluster is such that it provides a balance between performance, redundancy, and cost-effectiveness, with two Row Controllers being a common configuration for managing the SSDs effectively.
