HP mass storage offers management cost savings.
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Hewlett Packard launch petabyte storage option.
HP have launched their offering for extreme data storage requirements (aptly named the ExD9100) which will be a hit in storage environments such as engineering, design, photography and R&D.
Increased data quantity capable offerings are inevitable on an ongoing basis with the current industry requirement increments doubling every 18 months.
The ExD9100 runs on the HP Blade chassis. The base systems offers 246 Terabytes of storage. Or 820 Terabytes per rack with the option to add an additional Rack.
HP are ahead of the game with this the ExD series for a number of reasons. While most providers are approaching the market with the common “cheaper per gig” approach, HP are offering a system which reduces the amount of salary overhead per gig or more directly, they are increasing the amount of data which one administrator can manage. Our following of this is broadly linked to our intended launch of the NAZAV data store which will take place in July. The NAZAV is a network drive in a box solution which has its own operating system, RAID and replication capabilities.
