Storage device combines NAS, iSCSI

摘要

Combining iscsi and nas on a single box, the Snap Server 18000 brings IP storage consolidation to small and midsize businesses. The addition of iSCSI gives the Snap Server 18000 from Snap Appliance, a division of Adaptec Inc., block-level support that will allow it to efficiently serve up storage for common corporate application servers, such as e-mail and database servers. The Snap Server 18000, which began shipping last month, has a starting price of $14,995 for a 2TB version. The storage in the Snap Server 18000 comes in the form of eight 250GB hot-swappable SATA (Serial ATA) drives, which can provide 1.62TB of usable capacity in a RAID 5 configuration.
