Smaller companies, bigger benefits:
"Plug-and-play SAN Kits" for Microsoft Simple SAN

Savings and improved productivity on the near horizon. What happens on the IT floor can affect an entire organization-internally and externally. So for many companies it's a giant step in the right direction to use Simple SAN to meet service levels for business-critical and development data via efficient storage monitoring and managing. Users will find that they can increase productivity and improve employee performance with greater access to application data on Hitachi modular storage. Time savings are made possible by performing data replication and backup procedures with advanced Hitachi software in the Microsoft Windows Server environment. And everyone benefits when downtime is avoided with the help of our professional services and support teams that are fully conversant with Microsoft platforms and applications.

Innovative thinking. Practical solutions. Technology scaled to size. For years, large enterprises have implemented SANS, uncoupling a storage system from one server and attaching it to a network where many servers can access the device. While neither inexpensive nor easy to install, these SANs enabled highly scalable and flexible storage resource allocation and better storage utilization. But now a SAN which is installable, manageable and affordable, is here for smaller companies to support their business objectives while staying within their budgets. Yes, the world of storage has shifted, again.
