StorageTek sharpens its Blades

New replication and mirroring additions are to be introduced to StorageTek's range of BladeStore arrays.

The enhancements will allow users of the BladeStore system to add D-Series arrays into the BladeStore system.

As a result, BladeStore ATA storage can be used with D-Series Fibre Channel storage to use one controller module simultaneously, which should create a single high capacity online storage solution.

Philip Belcher, the managing director of StorageTek's Australian branch office said the improvements had been introduced because, "It is important to understand that not all data is equal, and, therefore, customers need multiple options for storing, protecting andreplicating data."

Customers who are already using the BladeStore system will be given the opportunity to upgrade their current BladeStores with access to the D-Series mirroring and replication system.
