NetApp - Filers - FAS200 Series
Ladies and Gents,
The NetApp FAS200 entry level storage system. It does NAS, it does SAN... it also does iSCSI!... all in the same freaking 3U box. All at the same time! Trust me ladies and gentlemen.. no one out there has done this yet. This box is a thing of beauty. You think that's cool.. you should see how it scales.. up to 2TB RAW on a single shelf. And can scale from the lowest end, to the highest enterprise level end in less than an hour! No data migration, No backup, NO BIG DOWNTIME!
So... here I am.. doing another plug for NetApp.. the company that I am currently reselling products for... oh and services.. But this thing is like smack.. once u try it.. ur hooked... line and sinker..
Why the hell am I writing about this product or this company in the first place? Poyo sangat ke aku ni? Takde benda lain ke nak cerita? Well, to answer that... partly, yes, I am poyo and have nothing else to talk about. Partly, because I'm just in the habit of getting people to see what's out there. The market of storage has changed so much since I first started working with hard drives. From the large, clunky shoe-boxed sized SCSI drives of maxtor and conner, to the latest and fastest fibre channel 3.5" drives of hitachi and seagate. the evolution is there my dear friends. Before we can even start thinking about grid computing and the likes.. take a look at network storage. Because where else does all that computer crunching data reside if not for memory and hard drives?
Oh... and another thing.. I'm bored stiff..
i'm gonna sleep now.. or at least try to sleep..
y'all take good care of yourself..
CiAO!
