Why there are 14 Data Movers in EMC Celerra?
What is the load capacity and the capacity of each Data Mover?

A CNS-14, or CFS-14 contains *up to* 14 datamovers, but typical
deployments are less than this.  The reason is to allow for large
scalability.  EMC also sells its NS series which can have 1, 2 or 4
datamovers (these either have an integrated Clariion backend or the
NS700G models can attach to either Symm or Clariion through the
fabric).  Load capacity is very dependent on the model of DM, and type
of traffic (large vs small, few users vs many users, etc.).  However,
capacity, AFAICR is about 20TB per DM (also dependent model of DM and
version of DART)-- larger capacities can be supported with a RPQ.
