ANYONE INTERESTED IN SAVING MONEY? Looks like these guys are comfortable overpaying for enterprise storage. Are You? “Hewlett-Packard Co. agreed to buy 3Par Inc. for $2.35 billion” — Bloomberg.com “EMC to Buy Isilon Systems Inc. for $2.25 Billion” — Wall Street Journal “Dell to Buy Compellent for $960 Million” — CNBC
So what “benefit” will you see by this spending spree, other than higher costs? The AberSAN Z-Series scalable unified storage platform, featuring the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series, brings the simplicity of network attached storage (NAS) to the SAN environment by utilizing the innovative ZFS file system. The AberSAN Z20 is easily found starting under $20,000.
