Network-centric storage solutions are the ideal solution. We chose Network Appliance as a storage partner for blade server environments because they offer the most robust network storage solutions and meet the demanding enterprise need for server consolidation in the data center,” says Dieter Herzog, vice president Primergy Servers, Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
