InfoWorld - Rackable Systems has added to its line of NAS solutions with its new S3116-NAS server appliance. The new NAS server is designed for datacenters looking for a high-performance SATA system at an affordable price, according to Geoffrey Noer, senior director of storage products at Rackable Systems. &#8220;Companies using expensive Fibre Channel-based storage can migrate older projects to a lower-cost Rackable Systems NAS,&#8221; Noer said. Other uses include disk-based backup, small and medium business workgroups, and applications such as seismic processing and video rendering, he said.

(InfoWorld) - Cisco Systems's Linksys division thinks SMBs should have some of the same features enterprises get, such as backup power and virtualization, when they attach storage to their networks. On Monday, the company rolled out its first NAS products for businesses, filling a need it found in smaller organizations when it started investigating the technology about two years ago, said Ivor Diedricks, a senior product marketing manager. The rollout includes two lines of NAS chassis, ranging in price from $999.99 to $2,499.99. NAS is common in enterprises and a fledgling category in consumer electronics, but neither of those types of gear suits enterprises with between five and 100 users, Diedricks said. The company's goal was to key capabilities of the large-enterprise systems into products that are affordable to SMBs. Linksys' well-known parent also serves some enterprises in that five-to-100-user range, Diedricks said. But those companies generally have an in-house IT staff and want a direct support relationship with Cisco, whereas Linksys customers generally turn to resellers for management and support. The NAS products are available with an optional redundant power supply unit to keep the NAS units running in case of a power outage as well as standard on-disk encryption, a system within the chassis for encrypting data. With on-disk encryption, disks can be taken out and moved, and the data will stay secure, Diedricks said. Linksys introduced four NSS (Network Storage System) chassis, each with four drive bays. The NSS6000 includes some advanced features that are not in the NSS4000, notably virtualization capability, Diedricks said. This feature lets a business organize more than one NAS chassis into a single virtual volume. An NSS4000 can be part of one of these virtual volumes, but the NSS6000 is required to run virtualization. Also, the NSS6000 can handle 75 simultaneous users, while the NSS4000 is limited to 15. Both the NSS4000 and NSS6000 also are available in versions that already include a set of 250GB RAID drives for a total capacity of 1TB. Also Monday, Linksys introduced its first stackable switches for SMBs. The devices are designed to help enterprises expand their networks as they grow. As many as eight can be stacked together and managed as one switch, and an optional redundant power supply can keep a stack of as many as six running in case of an outage. The switches range from a 24-port 10/100M bps device with four Gigabit Ethernet ports and two interfaces for fiber Gigabit links to an all-Gigabit Ethernet switch with four fiber interfaces and Power over Ethernet to run VoIP phones and other devices. They all have quality-of-service features to support VoIP. Estimated street prices range from $409.99 to $999.99.

(Source: Computerworld)  When it comes to storage systems, small and medium-sized businesses have had their share of challenges. Even when some storage vendors have tried to address the unique needs of the SMBs, it has been with underpowered versions of their enterprise-class products. The advent of unified network storage, exemplified by the DellTM PowerVaultTM NX1950, has dramatically altered the SMB landscape by combining iSCSI and NAS capabilities in a single, highly functional package that delivers simplified management and enhanced scalability at a cost-efficient price point.
