NetworkWorld: Network storage vendors take to Linux

"A slew of hardware products introduced at LinuxWorld Expo should help users more easily store data in mixed Windows NT, Unix and Linux environments.

Last week LAND-5, Overland Data, MTI and ADIC announced products ranging from network-attached storage (NAS) appliances and tape libraries to RAID systems aimed at midsize to large enterprise customers.

'In e-commerce, application hosting and Internet applications, we needed an enterprise-class storage offering that was scalable across a number of operating system platforms, including Linux, Solaris and Windows NT,' says Bob Johnson, a director at application service provider Breakaway in New York."
