Network Appliance adds to midrange

Network Appliance released two new midrange products today aimed at reducing storage costs and increasing storage utilization rates.

The new products are the FAS3020 and the FAS3050, new midrange storage systems, a new serial ATA (SATA) option for primary storage applications and the V3020 and V3050, two new V-Series virtualization engines.


NetApp officials said the new SATA storage option, cuts the storage cost per MB significantly. "We also offer some safeguards for the SATA drives using RAID-DP technology," said Suresh Vasudevan, vice president of product marketing for NetApp. "This offers better data protection that traditional RAID-1 or disk mirroring," he said.

The V3020 and V3050 systems increase the virtualization capabilities of NetApp Data ONTAP 7G software to include additional third-party storage products from HDS, HP, IBM, and Sun.

The new FAS3020 and FAS3050 systems and the new SATA storage option are available immediately. The new V3020 and V3050 systems will be available in June.
