“VA Linux Systems this week announced a new Linux server that
the company claims offers the largest internal RAID storage
capacity of any commercial Linux server in its class.”

“VA Linux Systems’ FullOn 2×2 Linux server offers up to 180G
bytes of internal storage, among the highest internal capacity of
all commercial Linux servers. With its large storage capacity, the
server can act as workhorse for companies doing Web caching, or
e-commerce. In addition, the FullOn 2×2 is geared towards ISPs and
users involved with scientific computing and large-scale server
clustering.”

The server can support up to five hot-swappable 1 inch or
1.5 inch SCSI hard drives. When configured with RAID, up to 144 M
bytes of storage can be reached with five 36G-byte
drives.
