"San Francisco, March 16th - Torque Systems, a Linux systems
company based in San Francisco, today announced bigstorage.com, a
new e-commerce site focused on the emerging storage needs of the
Linux community."
"Bigstorage.com offers a range of best-of-breed storage
technologies on a single platform, Linux, and gives buyers
information to help them weigh the pros and cons of each as applied
to their needs. The bigstorage.com site displays and describes
these storage options, plus complementary Linux servers, networks
and applications. This focus on balanced solutions for Linux is
dramatically different from traditional storage vendors, which
generally sell one or two types of storage, i.e. their own tape
libraries, across multiple platforms."
"Bigstorage.com supplements online information and ordering with
a strong in-person presence. A year of 24/7 phone, pager and
PPP/telnet support is included with all products purchased from the
site, and an experienced staff of technical consultants help with
pre- and post-sales configuration. Torque also has technical staff
based in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles."
