Bringing Affordable SANs to Small and Midsize Businesses

Overview Today’s business environment and the rapid pace of technological change require storage to be both scalable and manageable. It is widely recognized that the traditional model of direct attached storage (DAS) fails to meet these requirements. Storage area networks (SANs) fulfill these requirements, but their high cost and complexity keeps them beyond the reach of most companies. Adaptec addresses this storage dilemma with the introduction of the DuraStor 7220SS and 7320SS external storage subsystems.
