| Storwize Unveils Next Generation Primary Compression Appliances Storwize has introduced the next generation edition of its STN-6000 product family. The Storwize P Series encompasses a family of products tailored for different customer environments, ranging from entry-level operations, to data center environments with tens of thousands of users in the most data-intensive industries, as well as oil and gas exploration and financial services. Storwize has transitioned to a 64-bit architecture and is rolling out its high end appliance, the STN-6800p completing its solutions coverage for all market segments. The STN-6800p is designed to work with large-scale enterprise storage platforms such as the NetApp FAS6070 and the EMC Celerra NSX. The three P Series models are application agnostic and provide optimized solutions across a range of environments: - STN-6300p is the company's entry-level model providing the same availability, reliability and efficiency of higher-end models; - STN-6500p is optimized for enterprise environments; - STN-6800p expands enterprise functionality to high-end environments performing large file processing on huge volumes of files. All three new models are also available in an optional High Availability configuration, which provides the highest level of mission critical information availability and ensures data integrity and business continuity. The Storwize family of real-time compression appliances allows companies to extend the lifecycle of their data center. All appliances in the Series are transparent to end users and applications, ensure data integrity and are vendor-agnostic. Simple plug-and-play, the P Series products are complementary to other solutions and technologies intended to reduce storage consumption, such as de-duplication, virtualization and thin provisioning. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
