Data Protection Group (DPG) in XtremIO X2: The DPG is designed to tolerate multiple disk drive failures while continuing to provide data services.

Failure Tolerance: In a fully-populated DPG with sufficient capacity, it would require 7 disk drives to fail sequentially to stop the data services, as XtremIO is designed with high fault tolerance and redundancy.
