RackHigh. "Any organization that needs a server needs a
storage and backup solution; it’s precarious to have
one without the others. Our new offerings unequivocally meet customer
demands with affordable price points that disrupt the industry –
comparable competitive offerings are 10 times more expensive than our
new offerings."

tailored for backups, file archiving, and storage of webhead content.
SAN was built for block storage so that there are volumes to
partition and mount.

Features:

• Optimized for storage – The dedicated
  solutions are optimized for storage needs.

• Fully managed – RackHigh handles all
  management of the ‘no touch’ storage.

• Easy set-up – Map a drive (on Windows)
  or mount a directory over NFS (on Linux) for heterogeneous access to
  files.

• Easy to use – Simultaneously share
  files with multiple servers including virtual servers.

• Local appearance – Block storage
  appears as local drives, allowing applications such as databases to
  take advantage of larger, faster storage; no network sharing or
  application configuration required.

Candidates for this NAS and SAN
storage solution are organizations that are comfortable with
network-bound performance and do not need HBAs. The solutions are
best for those customers needing storage for media, backups, files or
additional storage for virtualization.
