“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.”
