NEC Storage - a real sleeper

Jim Addlesberger of NavigateStorage says, "the D1 includes all of the exclusive features of the NEC D-Series Enterprise Modular Storage arrays and supports many enterprise-class software capabilities."

A single D1 array can scale from 219 GB to 72 TB capacity by adding up to five 2U 12-drive expansion enclosures. The disk array base unit, with the first 12 drives, comes standard with dual controllers, but is available in a single controller format for those preferring minimum cost over redundancy.

Aggregate throughput over 1,100 MB/sec to hosts is provided through up to four 4Gbps Fibre Channel ports. These can be connected into a switched fabric SAN or direct-connected as a simple and low-cost DAS configuration. The disk enclosures are connected to the controller via SAS wide-link connection for 12 Gbps bandwidth to each disk drive.
The system is fully redundant to protect against single-point-of-failure, with a battery backup unit for protecting the cache. Failed components are reported via alerts by either email or SNMP traps and in the management software.

This is a terrific system whose price includes 3 year NBD On-Site at no extra charge. NavigateStorage can provide this FC or IPSAN for you today at a very competitive price.
