Sans iSCSI NAS storage
Sans Digital today unveiled its AccuNAS AN104LS, a unified storage appliance that supports both NAS (Network Area Storage) and iSCSI storage simultaneously in a 1U rackmount enclosure. The new model is designed to support RAID 5 without additional hardware, and enables users to upgrade to a Pentium dual-core processor. The AN104LS includes an installation wizard for easy setup as well as a Web-based management utility for local or remote configuration. Dual gigabit Ethernet support supports teaming or redundant networking, and RAID 5 support accommodates safe data storage. The device offers iSCSI target support for server side iSCSI applications, iSCSI initiator support for easy future expansion, NAS to NAS folder replication, scheduled or on-demand volume snapshot, local tape backup support, and more. The new storage device is priced at $3,000 with no disks, $3,320 with 1TB of storage, $3,760 with 2TB of storage, or $4,200 with 3TB of storage.
