Dell Launches SMB Storage Solutions
Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) has rolled out two servers as well as a pair of storage solutions meant to meet rigorous customer demands, as part of its ongoing focus on providing enterprise-class technologies to small and medium-sized businesses (SMB). As reported on Small Business Computing, Dell is shipping the PowerVault MD3600i Ethernet-based storage system, a 10 Gbps device designed to provide exceptionally large amounts of storage for SMBs while retaining performance.
"Dell also announced two storage offerings for SMB customers. First up, Dell's new PowerVault NX3500 is designed to provide high-capacity NAS (network attached storage) capabilities for 'smaller scale, high-availability deployments,' according to Dell.
"The NX3500 features the Dell Scalable File System, a Linux-based system that was part of last year's Dell acquisition of Exanet, Parkinson said. It can be used with PowerVault MD32x0i and MD36x0i storage arrays via iSCSI, CIFS, and NFS for access to block and file data.
"A company release characterizes the Dell Scalable Files System as a 'distributed file system that presents a storage pool as a single file system with a single IP address to the client(s).'
