Leveraging iSCSI and Serial ATA drives, the REO Series R2000 is a good solution for sites that want to implement a disk-to-disk backup system in a cost-effi-cient manner. The REO Series R2000 sits between application and backup servers, where it can accept backup feeds from multiple application servers simultaneously. Available now and priced at $24,995, the REO Series R2000 is a relative bargain, considering that if s equipped with as much as 2 terabytes of storage.
