NAS for small and medium-sized enterprises

- Fujitsu Siemens Computers extends storage portfolio with "Windows Powered NAS"

Fujitsu Siemens Computers has added the new FibreCAT® N30 to its extensive Network Attached Storage (NAS) portfolio. As an optimised file server, the FibreCAT N30 is a "Windows Powered NAS" appliance, which runs on the reliable Intel-based PRIMERGY servers from Fujitsu Siemens Computers with Microsoft Windows technology. This new storage solution particularly stands out due to its high reliability, high availability, and simple administration.
 
"Our new NAS entry-level model, the FibreCAT N30, is designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and integrates smoothly in existing infrastructures," commented Dr. Helmut Beck, Vice President of Storage at Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "This new FibreCAT N30 NAS solution is ideal for the growing number of SME organisations with applications that require an optimal level of scalability, performance and fail-safe operation."
 
The storage capacity of 292 GB in the basic version can be increased to 1.3 TB with the FibreCAT SX30's storage expansion unit, making this file server an ideal design for future data growth as it offers years of high investment protection.
 
"Windows Powered NAS" includes mechanisms for optimising availability, such as snapshot technology which allows point-in-time copies of data sets. The fast installation and the entire data management are handled via an integrated web user interface.
 
"Microsoft is pleased to be working with Fujitsu Siemens Computers to expand the availability of Windows Powered NAS solutions, delivering a reliable, scalable storage infrastructure for our customers," said Charles Stevens, Corporate Vice President of the Enterprise Storage Division at Microsoft Corp. "Fujitsu Siemens Computers FibreCAT N30 provides a powerful combination of easy manageability and superior performance at a low total cost of ownership."
