Continue reading Overland adding SAN products Isilon Systems is adding Solid State Drives to their S- and X-series products. Unlike other manufacturers, Isilon is specifically targeting SSDs for use in metadata storage; apparently these are currently a bottleneck in some systems.

The Nasuni Filer is a virtual NAS appliance that can be installed in VMware, and creates a gateway between your local network and your choice of cloud-based storage.
SSD released a new product in their FXT range of NAS accelerators: the FXT2700. The two older models, FXT2300 and FXT2500, relied on a combination of RAM and 15k rpm SAS disks for caching data that is used often; the FXT2700 combines RAM and SSD for even faster access.

Density Dynamics released a new product based on their Jet.IO RAM drives. The JetX10 Acceleration Appliance bundles four Jet.IO drives, eight SAS or SATA drives and a huge amount (up to 144GB) of RAM into a single server running Windows 2008. External connectivity is provided by either FC or iSCSI over 8Gbps FC links or 10 Gbps ethernet interfaces. Qnap just announced a new addition to their line of NAS appliances: the TS-410U. This 1U system can house 4 3.5 inch hot-swappable SATA hard drives, delivering up to 8 TB of raw capacity. It also supports 2.5 inch drives.  Qnap TS-410U front Continue reading Qnap launches updated 4-drive rackmount NAS IBM has announced their first new high-end storage system in years. The DS8700 adds increased capacity and better performance-per-watt. In IBM’s words:
