New Age DAS Makes a Come Back
In an attempt to simplify and optimize data storage, Coraid has turned its back on tiered storage-area networks, reports E Week. The company is offering new age direct-attached storage. Its new solid-state EtherDrive SRX AoE-based (ATA over Ethernet) storage virtualization appliances solve cost and complexity issues associated with competing SANs. EtherDrive storage can be accessed and shared by any server/host computer attached to the storage network.
"The SRX3200 series of EtherDrive storage appliances from Coraid--which include a load of fast NAND flash drives--are offered as high-performance SAN-like devices that really act more like DAS devices. They are designed to work with 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SAS (serial-attached SCSI), SATA (serial ATA) or SSD (solid-state drive) disks, Brown said.”
